The twin tragedies of Hurricanes Matthew and Florence made clear the need for stronger flood protection and the importance of strengthening infrastructure for future storms.
Lumberton’s new floodgate, which can close in a matter of minutes when severe weather approaches, will give the community protection that can save lives, shield people’s homes, and preserve their livelihoods. It represents a partnership among the @NCCommerce, the General Assembly, the @US_EDA, and the @NCgoldenLEAF Foundation.
