Following the successful completion of the first Habitat for Humanity 3D printed home in the nation – completed in 2021 in Williamsburg – Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg is at it again!
Thanks to partners Newport News Shipbuilding and BayPort Credit Union, Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg will break ground on TWO 3D printed homes in Newport News, Virginia on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.
