New Hampshire getting $20M grant to help reconstruct coastal seawalls
RYE, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire is getting a $20 million federal grant to help reconstruct coastal seawalls eroded by storms and flooding and received a disaster aid declaration to recuperate costs from a storm in January, officials said Monday.
The grant, announced by Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt at Rye Harbor State Park, will help bolster stone barriers along Route 1A in North Hampton and Rye in Rockingham County to reduce flooding, structural damage and post-storm cleanup time to ensure smoother travel.
It is being awarded under the FHA’s Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation program.
Separately, President Joe Biden granted Gov. Chris Sununu’s request for a major disaster declaration Rockingham and Grafton counties, in response to a damaging and costly storm and flooding in January.
