Description

As state lawmakers debate how much money is needed for the latest Helene recovery package, Gov. Josh Stein’s administration is making the case for $1.07 billion to help western North Carolina rebuild. Matt Calabria, director of the newly created Governor’s Recovery Office for Western North Carolina (GROW NC), spoke with WUNC's Colin Campbell about Stein’s Helene funding proposal, the state of federal recovery funding, and the biggest needs five months after the storm. Calabria also explained how his new organization will differ from the state's sluggish hurricane recovery programs from past storms.
