Radcliff health department not afflicted with mold

A story published in Tuesday’s edition of The News-Enterprise erroneously reported the Radcliff Health Department location on North Wilson Road has issues with mold and is an unsafe workplace.

Wendy Keown, public information officer for the Lincoln Trail District Health Department, clarified the issue Wednesday, saying the department eradicated mold from the building several years ago and it no longer poses a threat.

“It’s not an unsafe building,” she said. “It’s just old.”

The department’s board voted to relocate the department to 1679 N. Wilson Road No. 108 because a move would be more economical than detailed repairs, Keown said. The relocation is effective March 11 and the department will be closed on Friday, March 8, to accommodate the change. The new location will provide only the Women, Infants and Children program.

Keown said the department plans to sell the old location and potential buyers already have stepped forward expressing interest.
