Official new website for Middletown Flood Recovery

This just in from Diane Galusha, the newly-minted Middletown Information Officer. The town of Middletown and its flood-ravaged hamlets and villages (Margaretville, Arkville, Fleischmanns) has a new source for up-to-date, official information: a Middletown Flood Recovery website. Huzzah! Here's the press release:

Efforts by three municipalities to recover from the August 28 flood are detailed on a new website, www.middletownfloodrecovery.wordpress.com. The Town of Middletown and its two incorporated villages, Margaretville and Fleischmanns, are collaborating to bring the most current, accurate information possible to their constituents as the emergency evolves into one of recovery, repair and restoration. Information on relief efforts that are underway for stricken residents and businesses, as well as contacts for people needing help, are included on the site, along with suggestions for volunteering and donating to community recovery programs.
