“(BOSTON, MA)- Rep. Bill Straus (D-Mattapoisett) is pleased to note that up to $100K will be distributed to the town to defray costs incurred from the August, 2023 tornado. The EF-1 tornado left homes, trees, power lines including the town’s water treatment building damaged.

“The funds going to the town will certainly help with the associated costs of the ongoing repairs and restoration”. I applaud the Healey-Driscoll Administration for the inclusion of the Governor’s year end closeout supplemental budget and recognizing Mattapoisett as a municipality that was affected by a natural disaster.”-Rep. Bill Straus.

  1. Does this mean our neighbors that got whacked will be helped as well? The stuff insurance wouldn’t pay is a mess and very expensive to clean up. I feel for them! I hope this helps!
