President Joe Biden recently approved the state's request for a major disaster declaration for flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl on July 9-11while Gov. Phil Scott said he sought another federal disaster declaration on Wednesday for the second bout of severe flooding that occurred at the end of last month.
The state is also providing $7 million in grants to businesses damaged by this year’s flooding, in addition to $5 million approved in the past legislative session to help those impacted by the 2023 storms that did not get Business Emergency Gap Assistance Program grants last year, officials said. Scott said he's hearing and seeing that impact as he visits communities such as Lyndon, Plainfield and Hardwick and hears stories from even smaller and more rural towns that were hit by both storms this July.
The state grants for businesses and nonprofits will cover 30% of net uncovered damages, Economic Development Commissioner Joan Goldstein said. The portal for applications opens Thursday morning. Properties that received grant funding last year but are still in need may be eligible for the new funding and can send in an inquiry letter about their situation, she added.
