toys in mouth, religious, and country of origin products as well as the grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, cous- ins, daycare, and many, many other locations that the child could "temporarily" visit. Ad- ditional accessible sources, coupled with amendments to regulations and department of health policies, will require an investigation of the child's residence regardless of actual source of lead. Some states have also already adopted 5ug/ dl as their blood lead level of concern. The above really means that although the short term risk of a poor REAC score is not likely, the reality of having a child with an elevated blood lead level on your property is not. If you fail to comply with the recording of govern- ment documentation, it will create the ideal situation for a plaintiff initiated lead poisoning litigation case. It will be substantially more challenging to defend and in most cases substantial more expensive and stressful. This is especially true if ANY lead based paint or lead based paint hazards (lead dust, lead soil, lead water) are identified in or on your property! cipient of the Developer of the Year and Industrial Build- to-Suit Development of the Year Awards from NAIOP Chicago . CenterPoint is a second-time recipient of the Developer of the year Award with the first being in 2011. “We are extremely honored to receive two awards at this year’s NAIOP Chicago Awards for Excellence,” said Bob Chapman , chief executive officer at CenterPoint. “Our membership with NAIOP is very valuable to us as it is a leading organization for education in industrial real estate.
