On Feb. 19, Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-2nd) announced his support of Little Egg Harbor’s request for a repayment deferral for Federal Emergency Management Agency funds dispersed to help with recovery efforts in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.

Little Egg Harbor Township was decimated by Sandy in 2012. FEMA dispersed $4.2 million to help with Sandy relief under the Community Disaster Loan program and thought the loan would be “forgiven.”

The township did not miss any deadlines, said Administrator Matt Spadacinni.
