MADISON — Madison and other Carroll County communities affected by June flooding can now seek federal reimbursement for emergency work and repairs after President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration Thursday.
Gov. Kelly Ayotte announced Thursday that Trump granted her request for a major disaster declaration. The approval followed an initial denial and an appeal, according to state Sen. Mark McConkey (R-Freedom).
