Press Releases and Fact Sheets
The Biden-Harris Administration, through FEMA, announced today a $38,181,390 Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant has been awarded to the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District (MVSD) to strengthen and improve the Mineral Ridge Dam. FEMA funds will be used to make upgrades and modifications to the structure—which holds the source of drinking water for more than 200,000 northeast Ohio residents—helping to ensure it can withstand the probable maximum flood levels from a 500-year storm.
As part of his commitment to the people of East Palestine, OH, and other affected communities, President Biden yesterday issued an Executive Order to ensure that Norfolk Southern continues to be held accountable and to address any of the long-term effects caused by the train derailment.
Through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), FEMA has awarded $5.46 million to the city of Zanesville for road stabilization on Muskingum Avenue. This critical roadway is currently closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic due to rockfalls and land slippage, which have caused hazardous conditions. The stabilization and reopening of the road will not only reduce traffic congestion in the area but also decrease response times for first responders.
