BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Federal cash is coming to the north country as New York Governor Kathy Hochul secures a major disaster declaration.
The funding will help communities impacted by tropical storm Debby back in August — pay for public infrastructure recovery.
In our region, Franklin, St. Lawrence, and Essex counties are included in this declaration.
According to Governor Hochul’s office, the state was also granted access to FEMA’s hazard mitigation grant program supporting long-term measures to reduce future destruction.
