In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on Western North Carolina, Branch was awarded the Community Impact Award from the Carolinas Associated General Contractors (AGC).
The organization recognized Branch for our extraordinary efforts in disaster response, recovery, and ongoing advocacy after the storm devastated the area.
When Hurricane Helene struck, Branch sprang into action, deploying key personnel and heavy equipment to support local government and emergency services. Senior company leaders worked tirelessly alongside community partners, participating in county-wide efforts to stabilize and rebuild the region.
Our employee-owners across all Branch’s business units helped to bring power, safety, and connectivity back to families and communities grappling with the storm’s aftermath.
In the months since the storm, Branch is still at work advocating for workforce development to address the urgent demand for trained tradesmen and tradeswomen, as well as temporary housing solutions for the thousands of road workers essential to rebuilding efforts.
