Paradise Valley seeks 133000 flood aid from state and feds
Town manager Oscar Butt says Paradise Valley requests 100000 from the Army Corps of Engineers for Invergordon and Berneil Ditch repairs with the remaining 33200 to be sought from the state if the corps declines. If federal help fails, funds would come from the governor's emergency disaster fund. The town expects a corps decision before the state reviews the request and Scottsdale requests 53750 in flood repair funds.
