Economic News:

U.S. President Joe Biden approved federal disaster funds for nine Florida counties in the wake of Hurricane Ian, the White House said on Thursday, adding that more areas could be approved later as officials evaluate the damage following the storm.

Damage assessments are continuing in other areas, and additional areas may be designated for assistance after the assessments are fully completed,” the White House said in a statement ahead of Biden’s visit to FEMA headquarters later Thursday for an updated briefing on the storm.

The move allows access to federal grants to help affected residents and business owners secure temporary housing, repair homes, get low-cost loans for uninsured property losses, and otherwise recover, it said.

It also allows local governments and other groups to share the costs of debris removal, according to the White House.

The funds were designated for the counties of Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Hardee, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota.
