Flooding from Hurricane Florence damaged the city’s North Fire Station. Because the building was located in the floodplain, the city explored constructing a replacement station out of the floodplain instead of repairing the damaged building. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used for the construction of a replacement station outside of the floodplain, including associated professional fees for design and engineering. FEMA Public Assistance and city funds were used toward the new station.
