President Barack Obama has signed a disaster declaration that allows the District of Columbia to receive federal aid for cleanup costs incurred from December’s winter storm. That storm dumped more than 23 inches of snow on the city between Dec. 18 and 20. The money will go to the District government and should cover most of what the city spent on snow removal for that storm. The declaration also allows D.C. and a number of non-profit organizations to receive funds for the repair of facilities that sustained damage during the storm. A later declaration may be made by the president regarding February’s storms.
