DALLAS COUNTY, Ala. - Dallas County residents continue to recover following the tornado that ripped through the area on Jan. 12, leaving a path of devastation in its wake. On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, AL-7, confirmed her office has secured a half-million dollar grant for the Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission to continue long-term recovery efforts.
said Rep. Sewell. “Today, I’m thrilled to share that we have secured $500,000 from the [U.S. Department of Commerce’s] Economic Development Administration to develop a long-term plan in close coordination with our federal, state, and local partners.” This is the latest in ongoing efforts at all levels of government to help Alabama’s 7th Congressional District recover. Sewell previously urged President Joe Biden to increase the federal cost share for the FEMA Public Assistance program for debris removal and emergency protective measures to 100%, which he granted on Feb. 9.
