On behalf of the Shelby County Lead Prevention & Sustainability Commission, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Cheers to a #LeadFreeShelby in 2026🎉

Thank you Congressman @repcohen for re-introducing the Home Lead Safety Tax Credit Act! The legislation, which Congressman Cohen first introduced in 2020, would create tax credits worth up to $4,000 to cover half the cost of abating lead hazards in paint, pipes, or soil. The new tax credits would supplement state and local lead control programs and would be available to offset costs for removing lead from houses built before lead-based paint was banned for residential use in 1978. #LeadFreeShelby
