Steuben County continues its flood recovery efforts after severe damage from August storms. Officials say they have focused on repairing infrastructure, clearing waterways, and preventing future damage. Major projects included restoring CR14, reconstructing CR31, and clearing debris from the CR119 bridge.
Work has paused due to winter preparations and the need for permits from the NYSDEC. Officials emphasize improved response compared to past floods and ongoing efforts to streamline assistance for victims through community organizations.
More restoration is planned, with gratitude expressed for state and local support in minimizing future flood impacts.
