"Hurricane Helene destruction to Southwest Virginia road infrastructure created severe driving hazards, limited access and worsened road conditions for local communities. These FEMA grants for more than $2.8 million help local authorities improve road conditions in Grayson, Smyth and Washington Counties. I will continue to ensure that our region receives opportunities for federal disaster relief resources," Rep. Morgan Griffith said in a statement.
