Lincoln Spotlight: Local Lead Risks
Lincoln’s neighborhoods, like Lincoln Center, Sandy Pond, and Baker Bridge, are known for their historic properties and mid-century modern architecture. Many homes still contain original woodwork, windows, and painted surfaces, where lead-based paint may be hidden beneath newer layers.
Lincoln’s preservation-minded homeowners often undertake careful renovations to maintain architectural integrity—but even careful work can disturb lead hazards.
