During a signing ceremony on Wednesday, Stein approved $524 million in disaster relief following historic flooding in the state last year.
The governor said the funding is a promising step forward in the long road to recovery. He went on to thank the general assembly for working to pass the critical aid package.
The funds will go towards debris removal, home and private road repairs, and agriculture and infrastructure aid for business.
“This funding is a promising step forward in the long road to recovery for western North Carolina. I want to thank the General Assembly for working together to pass this critical aid package to help our neighbors rebuilding after Helene,” Governor Stein said. “But we are nowhere near done — I will keep pushing to ensure western North Carolina is not forgotten.”
Yesterday, I signed my first bill into law to bring hundreds of millions of dollars to aid western North Carolina.
