DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa Gov. Chet Culver and U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack have announced more funds are being made available to help Cedar Rapids recover from last year's flooding.
Culver and Loebsack announced Thursday more than $1.3 million in federal and state funds have been identified and are in final approval for disaster recovery efforts.
According to officials, the state and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have approved the funds to cover repair costs to utility infrastructure.
Culver says state officials will work with all the state's partners to ensure that all jurisdictions in Iowa receive all of the disaster aid they are eligible to receive.
Loebsack says the funds announced Thursday will go a long way toward helping Cedar Rapids recover from last year's floods.
