Rock Valley, Iowa — (KTIV-TV) – Rock Valley will receive more than $25 million from the federal government to support its ongoing recovery from flooding that struck the town two years ago.

The federal agency also approved a separate grant of $3.5 million for debris removal and repair in Rock Valley.
FEMA also approved a grant for Hawarden for the purchase of two properties and the release of $360,000 to the city.
