NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, Onslow County — The Town of North Topsail Beach will receive a grant for Hurricane Florence repairs.
FEMA announced Wednesday that the town will receive $1,027,627 grant to fund repairs caused by the hurricane that caused major damage in Eastern North Carolina in 2018.
“As all Third District residents know, Hurricane Florence caused significant and lasting damage across our region, including in Onslow County,” said Congressman Greg Murphy, “This grant is part of a larger FEMA public assistance project to relieve some of the associated repair costs for North Topsail Beach, which experienced damage to its Town Hall and Police and Fire Departments, in addition to other impacted areas. I know this grant will be put to good use to remove storm debris, restore beaches, and improve quality of life for those still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Florence.”
