THIS WILL BE THE FINAL UPDATE FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE STORM ON JULY 18TH.

​

     AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR FEMA OR SEMA FUNDS.  WE MET WITH SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND OUR BEST BET FOR HELP WAS LOANS THROUGH THE SBA.  TO QUALIFY, 25 HOMES IN CORTLAND COUNTY HAD TO HAVE 40% UNINSURED DAMAGED FROM THE EVENT.  WE KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO BE A LONG SHOT.

     I GOT A CALL FROM THE COUNTY THIS WEEK.  ONLY 4 RESIDENTS COMPETED THE SURVEY.  THE NUMBERS DIDN’T QUALIFY.

     SO I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE COMING FROM THE “TORNADO THAT WASN’T” THIS SUMMER. 

     BUT I DO WANT TO COMMEND THIS COMMUNITY.  THE WAY WE ALL PULLED TOGETHER, LIKE WE DO IN A CRISIS, GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.  THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT DID HELP, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE ACT.
