Two Century Residents Being Relocated Due To Black Mold
November 6, 2014
Two Century families set to have their homes repaired under a federal grant program are being moved out of their homes early due to black mold.
The homeowners have been approved for repair using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding award to the Town of Century. It will likely be January before construction project bids are awarded and construction begins. The grant stipulates relocation expenses be provided at the point, but according to grant administrator Robin Phillips, the residents are current experiencing severe health problems due to black mold.
Acting on a recommendation from Phillips, the Century council has approved using grant funds to pay relocation expenses now for the residents due to the severe condition of their homes and their health issues.
Once construction begins, it will take about three months to make necessary repairs. The residents will be assisted with a temporary rental or funds to say with friends or family until that point.
One of the homes is located in the 7000 block of Pleasant Hill Road; the other is located on Jefferson Street.
