💨 Abstract

The North Carolina House, May 22, 2025, approved a $465 million funding package to aid in hurricane Helene recovery, focusing on debris removal, infrastructure repairs, and economic aid for affected businesses and farmers. This is part of a total of over $1.6 billion allocated for recovery. Despite federal funds being slow, state aid continues, prioritizing practical relief. The Senate will next consider the package, with negotiations expected as both chambers use different funding sources.
