South Lake has work for painting contractors

To contractors,

I’m so glad to be able to finally release the 8-hour (1 day) Training Program we told you about. Working out the logistics took a few weeks longer than expected.

Lake Tahoe Community College is set to offer the training to all of you who expressed interest in getting some work out of the $1.5 million grant we received to conduct Lead Based Paint remediation for 100 local homes during the next 2.5 years.

For the first 40 spots, the grant will cover the cost of the training except for $50 (for the 8-hour course). Completion of the course will allow you to receive your EPA and HUD certifications for Lead Safe Workers. Call now to reserve your spot, or send in the registration form. After the first 40 spots are filled, participants can still get training, it will cost them between $75-$100.

Other training: You’ll see on the flyer the Supervisor training (1-week) course is being offered to up to 10 General Contractors – you must have a GC license to get this training. The grant will cover the registration (about $900) for the course. You’d need to cover any hotel/personal expenses (the training is in Richmond).

Read the flyer and give us a call for more questions.

Thank you for your patience. We expect to have some work for you on these 100 small projects come this summer — June–July.

Nancy Kerry, South Lake Tahoe Redevelopment & Housing Manager
