TN Gov. Asks Biden For Storm Debris Cleanup Help

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is requesting federal funding to help in ice storm debris removal. Lee visited Memphis on Thursday, discussing a range of topics, including crime. However, Lee said he’s asked President Biden to approve federal aid for seven counties impacted by the February ice storm. MLGW alone estimated the ice storm caused 12 million dollars in damage to its infrastructure. The city of Memphis has also said it estimates debris cleanup to cost at least 10 million dollars.
