KENTUCKY —

More money is headed to eastern Kentucky to help communities recovering from devastating storms and flooding.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced Monday $612,000 for the recovery efforts.

The money comes from Kentucky's Safe Program, which helps communities when federal funds aren't yet available.

Whitesburg will receive the largest share, $450,000, to address financial strain from disaster impacts.

Perry and Knott counties and Wheelwright will also receive funds.

Since 2022, Gov. Beshear has awarded more than $143 million in disaster recovery funding to eastern Kentucky.
