Connecticut is receiving $1 million in federal disaster aid to help reimburse state agencies, local governments and some nonprofits for expenses from the massive January snowstorm, The Associated Press reports.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Thursday the Federal Emergency Management Agency will also provide additional money after processing applications for help. Eligible costs from the Jan. 12 storm are estimated at more than $14 million.
Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, New Haven, New London and Tolland counties are eligible for the funds. Malloy’s office is appealing FEMA’s denial of a disaster declaration for Windham and Middlesex Counties.
The money will be used to help reimburse snow and debris removal costs, as well as repair and replacement of public facilities damaged by the storm that dumped more than two feet of snow on the state.
