CANTON, CT (WFSB) -

The town of Canton is considering approving additional funding to pay for tree and limb removal following Winter Storm Alfred in October.

In December, the town allotted $30,000 for the job that was expected to pay for about three weeks of work.

A meeting is being held Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the town's community center to discuss the funding.
