FEMA Gives 2 South O.C. Cities $6.1 Million
Two Orange County cities will get $6.1 million to help buy 33 properties deemed uninhabitable or at risk of landslides after last winter’s storms, a federal agency announced Tuesday.
Laguna Niguel, where there are 32 damaged properties, will get $6 million. Laguna Beach will get $124,400 for one affected property, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Statewide, 16 counties and other agencies will share the $22-million cost of buying 165 properties.
Structures on the properties will be demolished and the land left as open space to be maintained by the local government, FEMA officials said.
