STATEMENT: Senator Rob Rolison on Major Disaster Declaration for Dutchess, Orange, Putnam Counties
Federal government provides resources and funding after Rolison, others called on administration to do more
“This action will send much-needed funding and assistance to the Hudson Valley communities hit hardest by the July 9 storm and floods. Help is on the way.
“In the meantime, I will continue to remain in close communication with local leaders in Orange, Dutchess, and Putnam counties to help coordinate the ongoing recovery efforts.
“From its start, this was a team effort, involving a number of hardworking stakeholders, especially our storm- and flood-impacted residents, and will remain so now that the federal government has provided us with the resources our local towns and villages desperately need to rebuild,” said Rolison.
