UNC center helps historic town rebuild after hurricane

By Jay Siebold

This month marks the one year anniversary of Hurricane Matthew beating down on North Carolina. One of the towns hit the hardest was Princeville, a predominately African American community. It’s been flooded by hurricanes twice in the last two decades.

Now, a team from UNC is leading the recovery effort to restore hundreds of unlivable homes. They’re trying to strike a balance between preserving its history and creating new safeguards.
