Yeah, this came up the other day. FEMA denied aid for the city to rebuild infrastructure, namely roads, sewers, and a school nearby. The school rebuilding was estimated at $40m of the $57m claim (IIRC).

FEMA rejected the city aid, but had provided direct aid to individuals and businesses affected by the explosion.

It’s hardly the first time that FEMA has rejected aid requests. Happens all the time.
