The grant provided funding to the City of Havelock to repair damage caused by Hurricane Matthew, which had affected the City’s ability to maintain McCotter Canal and, unless repaired, threatened to further impede access to the canal and two water supply wells. Residences and businesses in the area benefited from the project. Golden LEAF Disaster Recovery Grant Program funds were used to enable the city to stabilize the canal banks and reconstruct the access road to repair the damage.
