BOSTON – FEMA has approved over $470,000 for the Town of Marshfield, Vt., for management costs related to the 2023 flooding, in a recent grant in post-disaster funding.
The funding is part of nearly $3.4 million for projects in Vermont, Maine and Connecticut. This program empowers states, local communities, tribes and territories to recover, to rebuild more resilient, safer communities, and protect infrastructure from future events.
Also included in the latest finding for Vermont is over $1.3 million to the Morrisville, Vt., Water and Light Department in for repairs to the town’s water supply infrastructure caused by the 2023 flooding. Two wells and the diesel generator that served one of them were severely damaged. The wells were flood-proofed as part of the repairs, including relocating the backup generator to higher ground.
