More than $2.3 million in FEMA funding is headed to a local utility to repair distribution lines damaged by the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred in 2021.
“The Steuben Rural Electric Co-op (in Bath) plays a vital role in providing reliable electricity to our residents, and this federal funding will ensure that they can afford critical repairs to damaged lines,” said Congressman Nick Langworthy. “Fortifying our power grid should be a major priority for communities across New York State — the infusion of $2.3 million is a step in the right direction for the Southern Tier’s continued access to electrical services.”
This grant is part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance Program to restore public infrastructure after emergencies.
