As the area continues to mop up and recover from the historic flooding, one local community is learning just how hard they were hit. Southbury is facing a massive recovery effort… an estimated $100 million in damage to public infrastructure. The flooding, which hit the town on August 20, pushed buildings off their foundations and severely damaged key facilities, including the Southbury Public Library. Some local business owners say they remain unsure when their buildings will reopen after being displaced in some cases by as much as 18 inches of water. While town leaders hope for FEMA aid to rebuild and protect against future storms, they admit that the path to recovery is expected to be long.
