Springfield to Receive $15 Million for Storm Debris Removal Costs
July 27th, 2012
Springfield, Mass. (WGGB) — Cleaning up after the October snow storm. Friday, Congressman Richard Neal announced that the city of Springfield will get more than 15 million dollars in federal funding.
That money will be used to pay for debris removal costs caused by the October snow storm and according to Mayor Domenic Sarno there is a lot of debris.
“When you look at it, we took 136,000 cubic yards of debris during the tornado. During the freak Nor’easter 500,000 cubic yards of debris was removed,” says Sarno.
In addition to snow storm debris pick up, the city of Springfield is still fixing buildings damaged by last year’s tornado.
Maybe now they can start rebuilding the city and make sure the pothole stay fixed always not just when High rollers come into town
oh yes. I agree with that one. Also. My car insurance never put my truck on collision so when debris was hit from the storm. It never covered the damages. robbers. all because of the recent storms n they needed to save money. The crooks are everywhere. Watch how they really have it spent.
maybe now they can afford to put ladder 9 back in service and find people that are not vaca to cover that truck all the time
It’s funny the City can ask for money and ban here’s 15 million. What about us?? I was trapped on my street for 2 days until my neighbors went nuts with chain saws. So I was out 2 days pay, I bought a generator with needed accessories, a chain saw, food, repaired some minor damage to my house. So please and thank u I will take 2,000 of that 15 mil.
Need a edit button. Bam not ban.
Also in the headline, it is ‘receive’ not ‘recieve’.
Take the mney and put it towards Union Station and the new South End Casino. Put it from Central to Union Street and leave Hollywood alone to be the outside attraction.
@donna..what does what you have for car insurance have to do with this?? You are in control what coverage you have on your vehicle..not insurance fault fyi.
