The Governor made the announcement Tuesday as part of $6.1 million in funding announced since last years flood.

This weeks announcement of a Community Development Block Grant worth $137,541 is for Holt County Levee District Number 15.

“This additional funding will help Holt County continue to repair its vital levee system that was damaged by the floods. From the very beginning, I said we would continue to stand with the communities that were hit by disasters through the entire recovery process. Today’s announcement shows that commitment continues unabated.”

That funding will assist the levee district with 25 percent of its non-federal share of levee reconstruction after last summers prolonged flooding along the Missouri River. FEMA is paying 75 percent of the cost.
