<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 16, 2011) Just last week, the Federal Government declared 21 New York Counties federal disaster areas, after this spring’s flooding.

County officials aren’t confident there’s been $336,000 in public infrastructure damage—that’s the amount required to qualify for the aid.Colton has been the most heavily affected community in the county, but most of that damage—about $800,000 in all—was to private homes. Nora Flaherty spoke with Colton Town Supervisor Lawrence Patzwald about where things stand now: [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17848/20110616/even-with-colton-damage-st-lawrence-county-says-it-apos-s-not-a-disaster-area">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
