City Seal-Colored_RGBTo 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

    I think this is wonderful! Now my spouse can take the class that we were trying to figure out how to pay alot more for since it is a required certifiction. This will be wonderful for those in construction in our community.

    DAN FOR 15000.00 ,HELL WITH PAINTING, JUST PUT UP NEW EXTERIOR SIDING ON THE MAJORITY SMALL HOMES IN THE AREA. MAYBE STRETCH THE CASH FLOW TO 125.

    I Get A KICK OUT TAHOE PHILOSOPHY WITH MONEY,It’s probably the only place I know where they cut the top of a dollar bill off, pastes it to the bottom, and say we got more Money.
    Too bad it doesn’t work that way.

    I know people in the area that took those CITY loans out to upgrade their homes,bring up to codes, and the city gives them the low % rate . For a fact, some have paid off their homes but not paid off the city ,got plenty in the bank account of our so called good KINDNESS.
    I can’t understand why the city does not review these accounts retrieve some that cash.
