Alabama will get some $1 million in federal cash for the city of Albertville’s recovery from April’s tornado and storms.
U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, announced Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency would award the grant.
He estimates about 9,000 local residents were left without power for up to 18 days and says that the people of Marshall County are still recovering from infrastructure damage.
The exact amount of the federal grant for utility repair is $1,047,360.
Severe tornado winds caused widespread damage to the electric distribution system throughout the city of Albertville. The damage included broken poles, downed power lines, uprooted trees, and other windblown debris that caused widespread power outages.
