The crew is framing and setting new utility poles, as well as restringing conductor on St. Thomas' 34.5-kilovolt transmission system. (Photo by Will Schnyer)
November 2, 2017- New York, NY - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, together with the Governor Ricardo Rosselló, met with representatives of the Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundations. They announced an immediate effort to help Puerto Rico better assess storm damage to secure the level of federal disaster aid that will be essential for the Island's long-term recovery. Using technical experts and in consultation with businesses, nonprofits, and other leadership from the Island, this group will work together in the coming weeks to assess the damages Puerto Rico suffered and the costs to rebuild its infrastructure so that Puerto Rico can achieve fiscal stability and build a strong local economy.
