The Kentucky Attorney General’s office is joining with local officials in Mayfield and Graves County to launch an emergency contractor registration program.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron was in Mayfield December 26 to launch the registration program for contractors looking to assist storm victims in the cleanup and rebuilding effort. The program is being launched following the devastating tornado that created a path of destruction through Mayfield and Graves County December 10.
The program aims to prevent contractors that often enter areas affected by Natural disasters in an attempt to take advantage of consumers. The program requires contractors to register prior to doing business. Registered contractors will be issued placards, which must be displayed on their job sites and in the contractor’s vehicle.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron says he and his staff know that the Kentucky communities affected by the tornadoes face a long road to rebuild, and they will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them during this process. The Attorney General says the hope is that launching this contractor registration program in partnership with the City of Mayfield and Graves County will assist Kentuckians with identifying registered contractors and deter unscrupulous contractors from entering the region.
Beginning at 12:00 p.m. CT on Monday, December 27, representatives from the Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection will be on site in Mayfield to assist with registering contractors.
