The generators at the Town Hall and Public Safety Building failed due to Hurricane Florence. Given the generators’ age, the estimated cost of repairs exceeding their value, and the need to upsize to meet the buildings’ capacity needs, the town decided to replace each generator with a larger one instead of attempting repairs. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used to reimburse the town for the costs incurred to replace the generator at the Public Safety Building. Insurance proceeds and FEMA Public Assistance were also used towards the project.
