Contractor Outreach
Lane County has received wildfire hazard mitigation funding from the Oregon State Fire Marshal to assist vulnerable residents in Lane County with improving defensible space. For this program, the County will directly pay the contractor or landscaper once they have been hired by the resident, participated in an initial site assessment, and had the completed work inspected by County staff. We are seeking licensed contractors and landscapers who may be interested in participating in this program, so that we can create a short-list to provide to grant recipients. This list will not imply County preference to any one business over another. Grant recipients are welcome to select any licensed contractor or landscaper, and this list is intended to help those who find it useful in making their selection. If you are interested in learning more, please email us at [email protected] or call 541-682-6702.
