The Tacoma Housing Authority will spend $4 million of its federal stimulus money on asbestos abatement and renovations across seven housing projects. The projects currently house low income senior citizens and disabled persons. It is expected that the renovation and abatement projects will also stimulate the economy by creating about 150 jobs.
In addition to asbestos abatement, the projects will include repairing and replacing roofs, siding and parking lots and adding new water pipes. However, the asbestos abatement will likely be the most important part of the renovations as it will take away the danger of asbestos exposure. Work on these projects is expected to commence in the next 120 days.
