There will be an “Open House” on Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 1 – 4 PM at the Field Office.

Please come by if you’d like more info on not only the lead cleanup but the free house-painting programs that we are encouraging people to take advantage of if their homes still have lead-based paint.

 As always, this will be a child-friendly event and all are welcome!
