Rock County to seek grant money for flood victims

Jvl Gazette

Only about 20 houses in Rock, Beloit, Milton and Fulton townships were substantially damaged by June flooding, said Scott Heinig, director of the Rock County Planning and Development Agency.

That's down from Heinig's estimate in August of 80 houses.

Of those 20 houses, the county will have to buy and tear down about eight, Heinig said.
