Federal and state emergency management funds will reimburse the Town of China to cover partial clean-up costs after the Dec. 17-21, 2023, storm that left roads and roadsides littered with fallen trees and other debris.
China Town Manager Rebecca Hapgood shared an Oct. 28 letter from the Maine Emergency Management Agency saying payment of $46,292.54 had been approved, and a check would be sent “within the next few weeks.”
The town’s share of this part of the clean-up is $5,143.61, 10 percent. The federal government is paying 75 percent and the state 15 percent.
The work is described as removing 214.5 cubic yards of “vegetative debris” the storm left in and along roads and rights of way and transporting it to a disposal site.
