OWEGO, N.Y. — The Town of Owego will use more than $1 million in federal funding to repair roads and culverts damaged from severe flooding events.
The funding was allocated from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) announced. It was authorized under section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Act.
“Restoring vital infrastructure damaged in Owego’s 2018 storms will not only mitigate the risk of future flood damage, but also increase economic opportunities and investment,” Schumer said in a statement.
