A month after Draper City and its residents were hammered by serious flooding in homes and on roads, they learned they would not qualify for federal assistance to pay for damages.
In order to qualify for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency damages must equal at least $5.7 million.
In the month since roads were damaged, the city said most repairs have been completed. There are still some final things to wrap up at the Mike Weir Roundabout and at 1300 East and Highland Drive but the city expects the projects to be done by the end of the year. Draper City explained the only other help for residents is a low-interest Small Business loan, but it appears even that will be difficult to get.
