We stand with you my friend and are ready to help in any way we can for ever how long. .
I have been visiting folks whose businesses and homes were flooded last night in Chapel Hill. A lot of damage, but so far no reported deaths or injuries. Will share more stories and resources as we learn more. People are facing tough circumstances and will need help.

Focused on our friends down east in NC and stand ready to help in any way from WNC. At the same time, and as always, impressed with emergency management, first responders, law enforcement, and every day citizens sacrificing to help their neighbors. They're badasses in my book!.

The floods in Texas are numbingly heartbreaking. All of us in Western North Carolina are in sincere prayer and share in mourning. Texas had our back and we have theirs.

Well, this is something I was not expecting today. I never thought I’d see the day that Canton would be featured in @MaximMag — but here we are, right alongside other great Haywood County places like The Swag, Cataloochee Ranch, and Maggie Valley.

While other development will happen over time, we want our first steps to begin where we left our past when the papermill closed.

but will embrace the boldness of innovation, technology, and big ideas. We want young families, we want good paying jobs, we want to be a place that builds on the sacrifices of the ones that came before us.

To go back to that question of “what’s next?”—I can now answer with confidence:. The Hometown of Tomorrow starts today. A place where our children and grandchildren can grow up with strong schools, recreation, a vibrant community, and the kind of opportunities we had. .
