Lead Program Grant Program Sometime between September 1 and September 9, superintendents should receive electronically from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission a list of buildings in their districts eligible for participation in the Lead Program Grants (PbPG) Program. These grants provide funding for testing of lead in drinkable water and for remediation of any potential lead sources. Primarily, these are buildings in use prior to January 1, 1990. The grants can be used to cover the costs of testing by a certified laboratory and of materials used in any necessary remediation of lead sources. Labor costs are not included. If you believe that you have eligible buildings not included on the notice from OFCC, please contact that agency as soon as possible.

Additional information on the program is available at: http://ofcc.ohio.gov/ServicesPrograms/LeadFixtureReplacementGrants.aspx
