New York State has just received notice that its application for a Disaster National Emergency Grant (NEG) was approved by the US Department of Labor.  

 

This grant provides over $27 million in funds for municipalities to hire temporary workers to help facilitate clean-up and repairs of public properties such as roads, lands, parks, and buildings in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. It can also be used to purchase any tools or supplies necessary for these workers to carry out their jobs. In addition, the funding can cover part of the salary of any existing supervisor who will oversee these temporary workers. 

 

All interested villages contact:

TIME IS CRITICAL!!  

 

While every effort will be made to ensure that funding is distributed throughout the impacted downstate region, municipalities that contact us first will have a better chance of receiving funding.
