The hurricane caused over 100 deaths and $80 billion in damage. The letter requests an extension of the deadline from May 1 to September 25 to provide relief to businesses still struggling with the aftermath. Lawmakers believe it is essential to support individuals and businesses grappling with the effects of one of the worst natural disasters in North Carolina history. Senators Thom Tillis, Ted Budd, and numerous representatives also signed the letter. The goal is to give families and businesses more time and flexibility as they continue to rebuild and recover from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. Moore emphasized the importance of assisting those affected by the hurricane as they work to recover and get back on their feet. The bipartisan effort aims to alleviate the burden on individuals and businesses still facing challenges following the disaster. Governor Pat Harrigan also expressed support for the extension, stating that it is a necessary step to ease the burden and provide room for affected families to rebuild.
