Ten Camden County municipalities will share about $511,000 in Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursements for costs they incurred as a result of the December 2009 snowstorm.

In August, 13 other communities received a total of $184,359 for snow removal costs, according to the Camden County Office of Emergency Management.

"The December 20th snowstorm caused the county and numerous municipalities to use a great deal of resources to keep roadways clear," said Freeholder Ian Leonard, liaison to the Department of Public Works. "It is our hope that these FEMA funds can go to help municipalities already struggling with budget matters no matter what the amount."

Checks will be issued to the following municipalities: Oaklyn $9,618, Magnolia $5,177, Gloucester Township $366,669, Chesilhurst $15,575, Stratford $7,434, Gloucester City $6,640, Haddonfield $23,679, Lindenwold $48,324, Berlin Township $25,627, and Hi-Nella $2,094.

Last month, reimbursement checks were sent to Laurel Springs, Gibbsboro, Woodlynne, Collingswood, Brooklawn, Merchantville, Clementon, Runnemede, Waterford, Pennsauken, Barrington, Gloucester City and Haddon Heights.
