Homeowners to Pay for Hurricane Damage of Right-of-Ways

 

Some residents expected the city or FEMA to pay the tab.

The NBC news affiliate in Naples, Fla., reports the Naples City Council voted unanimously to have hundreds of homeowners share the cost to redo the right of ways around their properties in the aftermath of damage caused by Hurricane Wilma. The wind tore up right-of- ways once lined for blocks with banyan trees. The station reports the mayor said the city council got the OK from the homeowners during recent meetings to pay for resoding, replanting and new irrigation.
