Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has announced a statewide Clean Up Day

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has announced a statewide Clean Up Day in the wake of the recent flooding. Gov. Scott said Tuesday that thanks in part to a $250,000 donation from Subaru of New England, a statewide flood recovery Clean Up Day will take place at the end of this month. Scott said so far, more than 11 million pounds of debris have been removed from Vermont cities and towns, and there’s still more to pick up. The governor fears tourism will be impacted if towns and cities are not cleaned up by foliage season. Vermont’s flood recovery cleanup day is scheduled for Sat., Aug. 26.
