As part of its ongoing response to Hurricane Helene, North Carolina has launched a new public dashboard at WNCRecovery.nc.gov to share progress on recovery efforts.
Hurricane Helene devastated the western part of the state in September of last year, destroying homes, business, and infrastructure across the region. The new website, managed by the Governor’s Recovery Office for Western North Carolina (GROW NC), features updates, resources, and information detailing progress of Helene recovery efforts, including rebuilding safe housing, restoring infrastructure, and strengthening the economy.
“My commitment to the people of North Carolina is this: I will bring urgency, focus, transparency, and accountability to everything my administration does as we work to rebuild,” said Governor Josh Stein. “This new resource will allow us to provide regular updates on our progress along with information and resources for our neighbors in western North Carolina.”
The new website tracks GROW NC’s work across state agencies and with local, state, Federal, and nonprofit partners to accelerate recovery in western North Carolina. The new resource highlights housing programs, debris removal, road repairs, and loans given to local business for economic recovery.
“There is still so much work to do to help western North Carolina recover,” said Matt Calabria, Director of GROW NC. “Our team is committed to working quickly to ensure a robust recovery for the region, while providing complete transparency along the way.”
