Rolling Fork receives nearly $3 million in FEMA reimbursement
SUMMARY: FEMA has approved nearly $3 million to reimburse Rolling Fork in Mississippi for the replacement of signs and repair of roads following severe storms in March 2023. The city will use the funds to replace 662 signs, including street signs, children playing signs, speed limit signs, stop signs, historical signs, four-way signs, directional signs, reduce speed school zone ahead signs, and one-direction large arrow signs. Rolling Fork experienced deep road rutting and asphalt loss due to large trucks traveling on the roads after the tornadoes. The city will use their own personnel and contractors to complete the replacements and repairs to pre-disaster standards.
