The New River Valley Regional Commission extends our support to communities, families, individuals, and businesses in the region impacted by Hurricane Helene. Historically, the Regional Commission works to secure state and federal funds to deliver meaningful projects to communities. In response to this natural disaster, we are working with partners at the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development along with the Appalachian Regional Commission, among other agencies, to determine pathways to address storm damage to housing, small businesses, water and sewer systems, broadband infrastructure, and significant natural resource assets. The Regional Commission's role will be focused on mid and long-term recovery needs.
