The City of Graham is receiving $15.8 million from FEMA to repair the Graham-Mebane Spillway, part of a $33 million package for North Carolina recovery.

The spillway was damaged by Tropical Storm Chantal, which devastated Alamance County in July 2025 and submerged the Graham-Mebane Water Treatment Plant under six feet of water. As part of the package, $9.7 million will go to the N.C. Department of Transportation for repairs to roads, bridges and embankments damaged by Hurricane Helene and Tropical Storm Chantal. FEMA also approved $1.5 million for the state's disaster case management program and $618,000 through its Hazard Mitigation Grant Program to acquire flood-prone properties in Robeson County and the City of Shelby, turning them into permanent open space.

The projects are part of a more than $348 million funding package for nearly 170 projects across the United States.
