“Congressional passage last week of the American Relief Act means that localities impacted by Hurricane Helene, including those in Southwest Virginia, can request federal assistance.

 

“This ARC grant for $100,000 helps LENOWISCO Planning District Commission deliver Helene-related technical assistance to several communities and address the extent to which greater recovery efforts are needed.”
