The latest approval is part of continued recovery efforts in Vermont towns that have faced serious flood damage in recent years.
Vermont communities damaged by repeated flooding are set to receive a new round of federal support, with FEMA approving more than $5.8 million for repairs across the state.
The funding, announced Thursday, will go toward fixing roads, bridges and power equipment, along with work tied to public buildings and other essential infrastructure. It also covers costs related to protecting public health and safety after disaster events.
The money is being distributed through FEMA’s Public Assistance program, which is designed to help states and local governments recover after disasters and rebuild in a way that better withstands future storms. FEMA says it sends the funds to state and local officials because they are in the best position to decide how the money should be used.
