The Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded a grant of $1,750,685.63 to Mantoloking, according to Rep. Jon Runyan, R-Ocean.
The money will be used for the demolition, loading, hauling, disposal and monitoring of private property debris removal as a result of Hurricane Sandy.
“Immediately following Superstorm Sandy, I saw first-hand the destruction and damage in Mantoloking, and it was without a doubt one of the hardest hit towns,” said Runyan. “These funds, which focus on debris removal, will ensure that Mantoloking has the resources it needs to be made whole again.”
