CenterPoint grant supports Evansville neighborhood lead-screening project

Dream Center Evansville has received a $50,000 CenterPoint Energy Foundation grant for a planned lead-detection project, according to an Oct. 27 report by WFIE that cites the grant announcement. The project, called The Dream Lab, focuses on the Jacobsville neighborhood and the wider Evansville area. WFIE reported separately on Oct. 29 that the group intends to use lead-detection technology in homes and community spaces. Dream Center describes itself as a nonprofit serving Jacobsville children and families. The grant funds a planned environmental-health effort; the available reports do not establish that neighborhood testing has begun or how many properties will be screened.
