Plans to rebuild five flood-damaged bridges to make Shandaken more resilient to future floods.

Hofmeister said he’s still working with FEMA on projects such as rebuilding five bridges that have been damaged by successive floods. “We’ll get them rebuilt properly so we won’t have to worry about next time. We have to build the town as resilient as possible. We’ll keep making the town better and stronger, able to survive another event like that.”
