Federal disaster officials in Leominster will close their City Hall office on Monday as the deadline for applying for FEMA aid following September’s flash floods approaches. While the office will shut down, workers will remain in the community to assist residents and business owners with their applications. Despite the denial of the city’s request for aid to repair $30 million in municipal infrastructure damage, FEMA has distributed $6 million to Worcester and Bristol counties in Massachusetts. Mayor Dean Mazzarella praised the workers for their professionalism and plans to host a thank-you lunch. Residents can still contact FEMA through various channels for assistance even after the deadline passes. The agency continues to review applications, reach out to applicants for missing information, and provide ongoing support throughout the process. Fuller estimates only a few applications were denied, emphasizing the importance of reading correspondence carefully and following up promptly. The next steps for the city involve securing contractors for necessary repairs and pursuing grants to address infrastructure needs.
