In September 2009, the City of Powder Springs, GA experienced some of the worst torrential rain and flooding in more than 500 years. Many of our neighborhoods, homeowners, and citizens became instant victims of loss and damage to their homes, businesses, and personal property. They also became instant targets for unscrupulous and unlicensed contractors intent on victimizing them and taking advantage of their vulnerability. Since that day we have taken a proactive approach in protecting our citizens from contractor fraud. Your workshop gave us a real opportunity to inform, educate, and empower our citizens to prevent home improvement and home repair contractor fraud from happening to them. Thank you. We appreciate all that you are doing to help our communities.
