DuPage County officials are estimating clean up costs related to last week’s blizzard will exceed $4 million.
Friday afternoon was the deadline for municipalities to submit their costs to be included in the county’s submission for federal assistance. To qualify, the county must have at least $2.9 million in submissions.
“Typically the costs that qualify for public assistance include overtime costs, snow removal expenses and damage to government property,” county emergency management coordinator David Gervino said. “We’re on track to exceed $4 million in those expenses.”
Gervino said his office will submit the county’s initial damage assessment cost tabulation to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday. The agency will then make a recommendation to Gov. Pat Quinn who will ultimately decide whether to seek federal assistance.
