♥ Why this matters

Sixty-five million dollars in state grants just opened for local governments and volunteer fire departments to rebuild after Helene. This is the second round of money the state is pushing out, which probably means the first round already moved and somebody is still counting the damage. The Office of State Budget and Management handles the applications. If your town or your fire department took a hit, the money is there.
