The City of Danville is hoping it might get some disaster relief from the recent intense storm. The June 29 derecho caused the city of Danville to spend $270,000 on equipment, contract usage and overtime.
Danville Public Works Director Carl Carpenter says he received an email from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency that said the state is trying to get disaster relief funding for the city from the federal government. Carpenter said the city sent back financials numbers from the storm. The numbers don’t include the cleanup still needed this week and next week.
