As Florida continues to recover from Hurricane Ian, the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration is providing $50 million in emergency funds to cover some costs of storm damage to two key island causeways and other damaged highways and in the state's southwest coastal area.
In releasing funds on Oct. 21 to the Florida DOT, the federal agency said the “quick release” aid represents a “down payment” on what is surely to be a much larger need for cleanup, repair and reconstruction.
