Grants For Ice Storm Of 2009 Recovery
KENTUCKY...
More than $1.2 million in grants are being distributed to a number of Kentucky counties and towns to help with recovery costs from the ice storm that hit Kentucky a year and a half ago. Gov. Steve Beshear said Thursday that the effects from the January 2009 storm are still being felt by the hardest-hit communities. Beshear announced that 17 Community Emergency Relief Fund grants are being awarded. Most of the recipients are in western Kentucky, though the city of Salyersville in eastern Kentucky is in line for a nearly $81,000 grant. The grants will help communities with some costs from storm cleanup and debris removal.
