This week we brought together local leaders to directly engage with state representatives and tour Western North Carolina communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. We facilitated conversations on the current state of federal and state disaster recovery funding, and collaborated on long-term solutions. Keep an eye out for more on how we're working to unite local leaders, lawmakers, and state agencies through the WNC Recovery & Resilience Partnership.
