Time is running out on the Globe Elevator in Superior and the Old Globe Reclaimed Wood Co.'s campaign to save the grain elevator from destruction .
To avoid foreclosure, the company needed about $48,000 more as of 3 p.m. Monday. So far a little more than $8,000 of the $56,000 goal has been raised.
Judy Peres and her partner reclaim wood -- more than 6 million board feet of old-growth Eastern White Pine -- from the 19th-century grain elevator and repurpose it for use rather than allow it to go to waste in a landfill or add to the logjam of greenhouse gases finding their way into the atmosphere.
The campaign runs out of time at 2 a.m. Wednesday.
