Selectman Jeff Manville announced today that FEMA has approved the Town's
application for tornado recovery funds. In the aftermath of the May 15, 2018

efforts. FEMA allows a 75% reimbursement
of eligible costs and 1.067 million dollars has been obligated to the town. "This is great news for the Town. I want
to thank FEMA, at both the State and Federal level for their assistance and
support throughout the application and reimbursement process. My staff did an
exceptional job following all the proper and necessary procedures to make this
happen on behalf of the Town."
