Pender County Courthouse Florence Restoration and Mitigation Project

Organization:

County of Pender

Amount:

$300,000.00

Program Area:

Disaster Recovery Grant Program

County of Applicant:

Pender

Year:

2020

Description:

Wind-driven rain during Hurricane Florence resulted in water damage throughout the Pender County courthouse. The basement was flooded with several feet of water that entered the building through the walls, chimney, and basement hatch. The sump pump in the basement was overwhelmed by the volume of water and failed. The total repair project costs more than $6.7 million and is funded by insurance proceeds, a direct appropriation from the N.C. General Assembly, and FEMA Public Assistance. Golden LEAF disaster recovery grant funds will be used to enable the elevation of the boiler and electric controls out of the basement as well as make other improvements to prevent water intrusion through the basement.
