North Carolina launches Western North Carolina Economic Recovery Plan
What happened
Governor Josh Stein initiated a Western North Carolina Economic Recovery Plan, which was introduced on the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene, which caused an estimated $80 billion in damage to North Carolina. Stein opted not to continue the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency, an agency previously run by Roy Cooper. Reports indicated that Cooper's office ran a budget deficit as high as $265 million and had debts of $37 million for completed projects.
