Connecticut’s transportation agency collected $2.8 million from its federal counterpart to cover the costs of the state’s move and shelter of Metro North rail stock before and after Storm Sandy, authorities say.
So far, more than $50 million in federal relief has gone to Connecticut property owners and businesses stemming from last October’s storm that dropped from hurricane to tropical storm status once it hit the state’s shores.
State Transportation Department Commissioner James Redeker said the Federal Transit Administration honored Connecticut’s February request for the $2.8 million
