<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 19, 2011) Good and bad news this week for those in the North Country who were affected by the historic flooding this spring: The Federal Emergency Management Agency again denied individual assistance to help recover from losses suffered during historic flooding earlier this year. But farmers, small business owners and many others may be eligible for low-interest loans under a new federal disaster declaration.

<title>Even with Colton damage, St. Lawrence County says it&apos;s not a disaster area</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 16, 2011) Just last week, the Federal Government declared 21 New York Counties federal disaster areas, after this spring’s flooding. But St. Lawrence county was NOT one of those counties. Turns out St. Lawrence County wasn’t passed over—it hasn’t yet applied for aid. 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>
