PREBLE COUNTY, Ohio – County officials and the Preble County Land Reutilization Corporation recently announced that funding from the statewide Lead Safe Ohio Program has been put to use, helping families improve the safety of their homes.
Through this program, aging properties across the county are being stabilized and hazards such as lead-based paint are being safely addressed.
Local contractors received training and certification to conduct the work, boosting both home safety and professional opportunities within the community.
Austin Cole, Land Bank President, said in a press release that the program allowed for the Land Bank to help make older homes safer without requiring families to leave their community or take on financial burdens.
