Congressman Tim Moore Announces Nearly $1.8 Million in FEMA Funding to Repair Lake Lure Marina Docks
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Tim Moore (NC-14) announced today that the Town of Lake Lure will receive $1,796,864.36 in federal funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to restore the Lake Lure Marina docks, which were severely damaged during Hurricane Helene in 2024.
“The Lake Lure Marina is central to the town’s identity, encouraging tourism and recreation on one of the most beautiful lakes in North Carolina,” said Congressman Moore. “Rebuilding the docks and boardwalks will restore a key part of Lake Lure’s waterfront so the town can continue attracting visitors and drive further economic recovery. I’m thankful that the Trump Administration recognizes the importance of this project, and I’m proud to work with FEMA to deliver the support Western North Carolina needs to keep moving forward.”
This FEMA funding is authorized under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Act and will support permanent repairs to the marina’s floating and fixed docks, gangways, and associated components. The project includes removal and replacement of damaged infrastructure and a hazard mitigation proposal (HMP) to prevent future storm-related displacement by reinforcing dock anchoring systems with additional pile anchors and telescoping spud poles.
The total cost of the project is $1,996,515.95, with 90% covered by federal funds.
