Issue Position: Norton Subcommittee Hearings Ensure Full Repayment for Record Snowstorms

Issue Position

Norton, chair of the subcommittee with jurisdiction over FEMA, held hearings following record snowstorms in the District to ensure that the city would receive two Presidential Disaster Declarations. The District received two federal public assistance grants totaling $7,703,425 for the cost of responding to the December and February snowstorms that crippled the region. Norton also secured $1.5 million to restore the damage done to the RFK Stadium parking lot as a result of the February snowstorm, and $1 million for Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority for labor and equipment used to shovel platforms and pedestrian areas, plow lots and clear walkways during the February snowstorms.
