NC House of Representatives Approve Additional $700M to Support Helene Recovery Efforts

  • On Thursday, North Carolina's House and Senate approved a $500 million new state fund plus redirected federal money for Hurricane Helene relief.
  • The approval came after weeks of disagreement over budget inclusion, with Senate GOP wanting Helene funding tied to the broader budget and House preferring a separate bill.
  • Helene caused extensive damage, including snapped water pipes in Swannanoa, a crevasse blocking marina docks, and outages affecting 10,000 customers with some residents lacking water nearly two months.
  • Dunedin Marina reopened eight months after closure but still lacks full electrical power and requires $10 million in repairs, while officials plan construction on a reinforced pipeline starting January 2026.
  • The relief funding and federal grants aim to support long-term infrastructure fixes and rebuilding efforts, though local leaders warn Helene's effects will persist for many years.
