Clark County accepts $143,000 Lead Safe Ohio grant amendment to expand abatement work
Summary
Commissioners approved a $143,000 amendment to the Lead Safe Ohio grant, bringing the total to $1,417,000 for lead-safe renovation, abatement and equipment purchases focused on pre-1978 homes and low-to-moderate income populations.
The Board of Clark County Commissioners on March 25 accepted grant amendment #1 from the Ohio Department of Development, increasing the county’s Lead Safe Ohio award by $143,000 and raising the grant total to $1,417,000.
County Administrator Jennifer Hutchinson told the commission Clark County was one of the few jurisdictions that fully expended the original grant funds and therefore was offered additional funding to expand lead-safe renovation, abatement and mitigation activities, including purchase of XRF analyzers and HEPA vacuums. The amendment keeps the grant’s original timeframe (December 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026). Commissioners approved the amendment unanimously.
