FEMA reimbursements starting to flow
NORWICH– The Town of Norwich has continued to seek federal reimbursement for expenses incurred after widespread flooding damaged roadways, homes and businesses last year, and it is finally starting to arrive in large sums.
June’s record-breaking flood cost the town approximately $744,000 in repairs. Nearly nine months later, the town expects to receive $220,000 from the Federal Emergency Managment Association this week.
“Money is starting to flow; it just takes time,” Supervisor David C. Law said. All expenses except for $257,455 due to Burrell’s Excavating of Norwich for repairs have been paid.
Work orders are still being completed and filed for flash flooding that occurred last November. As of now, there is an estimated cost of roughly $32,000, but Highway Superintendent Stanley Foulds says by the time the project work orders are completed, the cost will total approximately $58,000. Foulds also said a lot of the work repaired in June had to be looked at again in November. “A lot of the same areas got hit again in the November flash floods and work had to be done again,” Foulds said.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) arrived to assist and after an imposed state of emergency was lifted, the United States government declared the entire county a federal disaster area.
After the disasters, FEMA officials, town representatives, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and others surveyed damage to: Lower Ravine Road, White Store Road, Dan Main Hill Road, Oxford Road, Hoag Road, Miller Shumway Road, Lawton Sheer Road, Crandall Street, Pratt Road, Sharman Drive, Grotsinger Road, Lionbrook Road and Graef Road, among others.
