What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following Hurricane Isaias, the City of Milton reported that cleanup costs had risen to $25 million, which accounts for one-third of the city’s operating budget. Due to these costs, the city canceled its Veterans Day parade and Christmas events. The Santa Rosa County Veterans Memorial Foundation announced it would host a ceremony and wreath-laying event instead of the parade, while also providing support for the city's recovery efforts.
