The Federal Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday opened applications for a major resilience grant program that the agency canceled last year, less than three weeks after a federal judge ordered FEMA to make the funding available.
FEMA will make $1 billion available for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, which helps states, local governments, territories and tribes take on preparedness projects to harden against natural hazards like fires, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes.
“When done correctly, mitigation activities save lives and reduce the cost of future disasters,” Karen S. Evans, FEMA’s acting leader, said in a statement announcing the resumption.
Its just another way to delay. Offer 1b in tax dollars to not do it, get shot down in court, wastes more time with no new wind farms being built, and it wastes even more of our tax dollars.
Sounds like a win/win if you’re trump.
I wish, but who has standing to sue? A company can’t be forced to develop a wind farm. This is the regime admitting they can’t legally stop it so they are bribing the company to choose to stop
Tax payers might sue for “waste fraud and abuse” but that never seems to work
