As more people become aware of health problems associated with mold, officials with the Luzerne County Housing Authority have received more complaints about it.
So the authority is sending two maintenance workers to Florida in December to become certified in mold inspection, Executive Director Dave Fagula told the authority board on Thursday.
Fagula said no authority buildings have had major problems. But there were reports of mold at a unit in Exeter and at scattered sites in Edwardsville. The units were tested and some remediation work was necessary, he said.
Maintenance supervisor Joseph Grady and foreman Dave Drank will attend a two-day certification workshop at the Southeastern Mold Institute Inc. in Panama City on Dec. 11-12, Fagula said. The cost of the class is $950 per person, but the authority received a $200 discount for sending two individuals.
“The reason why those folks should be trained is because they’re responsible for overseeing the health and welfare of the people who live in those buildings,” institute President William E. Fisher said in a telephone interview.
