"Additional funding from the Labor Department will help Vermont with storm cleanup and also provide temporary work to those in need of employment."
On Sept. 1, 2011, the Federal Emergency Management Agency declared Addison, Bennington, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor counties eligible for FEMA's Public Assistance Program.
