Summary
At an April 1 public hearing, the Alton Board of Selectmen voted to accept a final FEMA reimbursement payment totaling $177,732.69 for storm-related infrastructure repairs tied to storms from December 2020 and 2023–24.
The Alton Board of Selectmen opened a public hearing at 6:05 p.m. April 1 to accept a final Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursement for work related to multiple storms.
Town staff told the board the payment covers combined reimbursement claims for the December 2020 storm and additional flooding in July 2023 that damaged previously repaired infrastructure. The staff summary said this $177,732.69 payment is the last installment from those two submissions to FEMA.
Selectmen then moved and seconded a motion to accept the FEMA reimbursement of $177,732.69. A voice vote was recorded as “Aye,” and the chair closed the public hearing later in the meeting.
The board recognized town staff for the effort required to prepare and qualify the town for these funds. No further conditions or allocations for the money were specified at the public hearing.
