Congresswoman Ashley Hinson announced the funding on Tuesday, as a result of the 2022 appropriations package passed earlier this year.
She says the package allocated resources for the Disaster Relief Fund, and eases the financial burden on localities by increasing the federal cost share for derecho recovery efforts to 90%.
"Marshalltown suffered serious damage as a result of the Derecho, and the community is still recovering. These ongoing relief efforts have put a major strain on local resources and these funds will help the City of Marshalltown fully recover. I will continue working to bring disaster relief resources back to Iowa so that we can become whole again after this horrible storm," said U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson (R) Iowa District 1.
