CAGC encourages members to support
Hurricane Florence recovery efforts
North Carolina Construction News staff writer
CAGC provided the following list of reputable organi-
zations collecting funds to support the recovery efforts.
The Carolinas Associated General Contractors (CAGC)
has invited members to support and lead in the Hurri-
cane Florence recovery effort.
“As one Carolina, we are both saddened and at a loss
by the devastation Hurricane Florence has left behind,”
CAGC said in a statement. “In North Carolina alone,
enough rain was dumped to cover the state of Texas
with four inches of water.”
“We sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are
safe and sound – and that all your businesses and liveli-
hoods get up and running again quickly in North and
South Carolina.”
“As an organization supporting the improvement of
the quality of life in the Carolinas, we want to assist our
members, as well as the construction industry, as we all
work together to rebuild and overcome this damage that
no doubt will run into the billions of dollars.”
“At a time like this, it is good to see everybody pulling
together as one Carolina,” CAAG board chair Paul Mash-
burn said.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with you all,” CAGC
said. NC Disaster Relief Fund https://governor.nc.gov/donate-
