Making an impact
The Mountain Strong
"This support will have a direct and meaningful impact on our community, allowing us to repair critical access ways and back roads that serve multiple families and connect residents to essential locations including grocery stores, schools and medical clinics," said Carol Tyler, who serves as the group's president. "Reliable infrastructure is the backbone of a resilient community, and with this funding, we will be able to ensure safer, more dependable routes for those who rely on them daily."
"Many property owners who still need help with flood debris removal do not have the resources needed to clean up their properties," said Eric Bradford, director of operations. "Duke Energy's support will help fill that gap and meet the needs of many residents who suffered damage from Hurricane Helene."
