Feds amend Connecticut's Hurricane Ida disaster declaration

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A federal disaster declaration approved last year after remnants of Hurricane Ida hit Connecticut has been amended. Gov. Ned Lamont announced Thursday it will now include damage that occurred in Fairfield and Litchfield counties to public infrastructure. Local governments in both counties can now apply for federal reimbursement of 75% of the costs associated with uninsured storm damage to public infrastructure. Local governments can also receive partial reimbursement for emergency response costs. A request is still pending to allow governments in Middlesex and New London counties to also seek reimbursement. The original declaration allowed individuals in Fairfield, New Haven and New London counties to seek assistance.
