Joe Biden's official portrait
| LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders today announced that her request for a 100 percent federal cost share, for a 30 day period, for state and local resources spent on storm debris cleanup and emergency protective measures in Pulaski, Lonoke, and Cross counties was approved by President Biden. “As Arkansas’ tornado recovery continues, it’s clear that communities across our state will be substantially burdened by the cost of cleanup and repair. Last week, I asked President Biden to approve a 100 percent federal cost share for our storm recovery expenses. Today, I’m pleased to announce that the President has approved our request,” said Governor Sanders. “Coordination between federal, state, and local leaders has been seamless so far, and with today’s announcement, I’m confident we can continue our close partnership for as long as the recovery process takes.” |
