Windham County lead-hazard program reports $1.1 million grant, seeks local steering-committee members
Summary
Presenters said the county's Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes capacity-building program is entering Year 2 of a three-year effort, has secured a $1.1 million grant, increased contractors from 2 to 11, and is seeking local steering-committee members and providing free classes and educational materials.
Elisha Underwood and Emily Gibbs presented on behalf of the Windham County Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Capacity Building Program, which is entering its second year of a three-year initiative. The presenters said the program has secured a $1.1 million grant and expanded its trained contractor pool from two contractors to 11, offering free training and resources aimed at reducing lead exposures in homes.
Underwood and Gibbs asked the Selectboard for local input on recruiting steering-committee members to provide insight on program growth and local needs; they left educational pamphlets at Town Hall for residents. The program's presenters emphasized training and contractor capacity as priorities for reducing and eliminating lead exposure.
