SOUTH BEND — Governor Mike Pence announced today that nine additional counties will receive federal grants for the severe winter storm that severely affected much of the state January 5-9.
“This continues to be good financial news for cities and towns in these counties,” said Governor Pence. “Federal grants mean millions of dollars replenishing local budgets.”
The additional counties granted public assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are Blackford, Clinton, Fulton, Hamilton, Johnson, LaGrange, Marion, Montgomery, and Vanderburgh. All of these counties, except Vanderburgh, will also receive 48 hours of snow assistance.
