Aiken County seeks state help on storm recovery funds
Aiken County officials urge state officials to cover nonfederal matching funds for February Winter Storm Pax debris cleanup and recovery costs. They note federal FEMA reimbursements total about 27 million, leaving 6.1 million out of pocket, while lawmakers seek about 16 million in nonrecurring funds for recovery and emergency costs and 153000 for public safety. County officials describe Herrera Haley and governor funding gaps and stress the impact on rural counties.
