Yeadon Borough Manager Rafi Cave invited area realtors, economic development stakeholders and Delaware County Health Department (DCHD) representatives to a roundtable discussion focused on public health and economic growth. A primary topic of discussion was centered on lead exposure. Yeadon Borough is one of just three municipalities in Delaware County that has recently passed a lead ordinance that mandates regular lead paint testing in residential homes. The Delaware County Health Department has launched “Lead-Free in 1-2-3,” a training and education program. Landlords and Realtors asked questions about how Yeadon’s lead ordinance could lead to escalating costs. Yeadon’s ordinance requires that all apartments be tested every three years and at resale if a lead-safe certificate hasn’t been issued for the unit in the past three years. Yeadon has posted a lead resources page with information on programs to help with lead testing and remediation.
