Federal Funds for Damage in Delaware from Hurricane Sandy

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Officials say Delaware has been awarded more than $1 million in federal assistance for Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts.

Officials say recent obligations include projects totaling more than $816,877 in public assistance funding, bringing the total amount of Federal Emergency Management Agency funding so far to $1.2 million.

Additional funding is expected following state and federal review and approval.

Public assistance funding was made available for all three counties in November when the president declared a major disaster for Delaware.

The public assistance funds are intended for infrastructure recovery and restoration of damaged roads, bridges, utilities.
