South Sioux City Still Waiting on Reimbursements from 2011 Flooding

floodzoneSOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (AP) — South Sioux City is still waiting for nearly $1.4 million in reimbursement from state and federal agencies almost four years after extensive flooding along the Missouri River.

City officials are still working to finish up the last paperwork needed to obtain reimbursement for flood-related expenses. Then an inspector from the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency will have to check out the work.

City Treasurer Nanci Walsh says she didn’t think it would take this long to secure reimbursement, but South Sioux City didn’t finish its last project until December 2013.

The city has received $3.4 million from the federal government, but nothing from Nebraska. It expects to receive $678,974 from FEMA and $676,148 from NEMA.
