Summary

Two years after Hurricane Helene, recovery efforts remain ongoing across the region. In Carter County, residents like Mayor Connie Guinn have seen their homes rebuilt through programs such as RENEW NC. Community resilience is also reflected in the reconstruction of local landmarks and infrastructure, including the Rainbow Bridge in Lake Lure and the Creper Trail. While many households continue to receive support from recovery groups, significant housing needs persist throughout the area.
