IEDC's thoughts and prayers are with communities across the Southeast region of the United States impacted by Hurricane Helene. We stand committed to supporting our members who are on the frontlines of disaster recovery efforts, and commend the Administration for their leadership on expediting Federal assistance and support. Our organization is working with Federal agencies and Congress to ensure that vital resources are provided to the economic development community for rebuilding businesses, schools, hospitals, critical infrastructure and addresses the entire needs of communities devastated by this storm.
