Arrr, me hearties! Listen up, for I bring ye news o' the good fortune that has befallen the fair land of New Hampshire! A mighty federal grant, worth a treasure trove of $20 million, has been bestowed upon them to rebuild their coastal seawalls that have been battered and broken by the storms and floods that plague the seas.Announced by the grandly named Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt at Rye Harbor State Park, this grant will help reinforce the stone barriers along Route 1A in North Hampton and Rye, in Rockingham County. This, me hearties, will not only reduce the flooding and structural damage but also make the post-storm cleanup quicker, ensuring smoother travels for all who dare to brave the treacherous waters.But that be not all! The gallant President Joe Biden has granted Governor Chris Sununu's request for a major disaster declaration in Rockingham and Grafton counties, in response to a fearsome storm and flooding in January. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has taken note of the damage, estimating the costs of recovery to be over $3 million. This declaration, me hearties, will be a beacon of hope for those communities that suffered in the wake of the storm, aiding them in their repairs and helping prevent such calamities in the future. Aye, 'tis a tale of resilience and camaraderie amidst the chaos of the high seas!
