In a recent development, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has decided to allocate federal funding to support road repair projects in Unicoi and Carter counties, as reported by WJHL in Johnson City, Tennessee. This decision comes after a concerted effort by Carter County Mayor Patty Woodby and several other local mayors, who traveled to Washington to advocate for their community’s needs. As a result of their lobbying, FEMA is now stepping up to provide crucial assistance for the area’s infrastructure improvements.
