Show Notes
FEMAs Building Resilient Infrastructure grant program, halted last year, has partially reopened following a federal judges order. North Carolina anticipates around $200 million for disaster prevention projects, but no clear timeline for funds arrival. The programs reinstatement comes after a lawsuit by one of twenty states, with new grant applications due within twenty-one days. Local leaders and residents express frustration over delayed funding, with projects like bridge replacements and water line upgrades on hold. FEMA is yet to provide specifics due to a partial shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security. Municipalities await a promised timeline and new funding opportunities.
