A Message for Western North Carolina



 

Western North Carolina, our hearts are with you as efforts build to bring you much-needed relief from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene. The value each of you and your communities brings to our great state is immeasurable and we will stand with you in the coming months and years, prioritizing recovery for the people and places that make this region such a treasured place to live, learn, work, and visit.

At the UNC School of Government’s ncIMPACT Initiative, we have firsthand experience working alongside community leaders from WNC. There is an abundance of drive, determination, and creativity within your communities that will be instrumental in responding to this crisis, and you will not be alone in this work. Since September 27, the phrase I have heard the most from leaders across the state has been, “How can we help?”

Of all the things I have learned about North Carolina, I know that we make great strides when we come together to collaborate. Please take care of yourselves and know that your recovery is a priority.

Stay strong, North Carolina!

With love and gratitude,

Anita Brown-Graham
