Recovery efforts continue in Rusk County as a result of a tornado and storms on May 16-17. Clean-up and rebuilding efforts have been slowed by weather, insurance issues, and limited access to contractors. Those seeking assistance in recovery from the May 16-17 tornado and storms, still have the opportunity to access financial programs. These are outlined below.
The Donation Center in Barron County will be closing on July 29th. Rusk County residents affected by the storm can visit the center and receive assistance free of charge. SBA financial assistance is now available with an August 11th deadline to file applications.
The Northwest Regional Planning Commission in Spooner has received funds from the Wisconsin Department of Administration to make available to Rusk County homeowners and businesses. These funds could be in the form of grants or low-interest loans depending on need.
The 2-1-1 line utilization has been phased out. Those interested in volunteering or in need of assistance should now call (715) 532-2121.
Any residents in need of volunteer assistance to clear debris from the recent storm damage should call 715.532.2121. They will need a name, phone number, and location.
Any storm impacted resident in need of general recovery assistance can also call 715.532.2121, and a County official will follow-up with you.
