Attention Renovation Contractors!

07/06/2023

Renovation contractors this is a first from CORE Development, Inc.! CORE has funds for home improvements, but time is running out for homeowners in Antelope and Holt Counties. We need to get their projects under contract ASAP so CORE is offering reimbursement for training fees once a contract is issued for a CORE project. We should then have up to a year to complete the work. Some of the homes require the contractor to be Lead Certified Renovator because the EPA requires this if the contractor is disturbing a painted surface on a pre-1978 home. Learn how to project the homeowners, yourself and YOUR family. Lead poisoning effects can last a lifetime.
