Grant to assist Duluth flood victims
A new $500,000 grant is coming to the Duluth area to help residents still struggling to recover from damage from the June flood.
The Duluth News Tribune reports the money comes from the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation of Eden Prairie, Minn. Much of the money will be distributed through local non profits.
Almost everyone with homes and property damaged in the flood has a secure place to spend the winter, but there’s still work to be done to return property to pre-flood conditions. Not all of the work is covered by state and federal programs.
