Bidding & Estimating Seminar
FEB. 8 & 9—The Allegheny County Penn State Extension office will host an Estimating and Bidding class for landscape contractors at the Energy Innovation Center, Suite A, 1435 Bedford Ave. in the Hill District.

The cost to attend this class is $200. Pre-registration and payment is required by Feb. 7. To register go to: https://extension.psu.edu/plants/green-industry. For more information, call 412-482-3454.
