A Message from the mayor of Chimney Rock Village, NC
Thank you for the support, prayers, and fund raising efforts on behalf of Chimney Rock Village. We were truly devastated on the morning of September 27, 2024 by Hurricane Helene. The flooding unleashed on our Village was unbelievable and has been called a geological event, literally transforming the shape of the Gorge we live in. 100% of our businesses were affected and are out of business, 100% of our local employees are unemployed. It will take us years to recover. We are down but we are getting up. The volunteer response has been incredible and uplifts all our spirits. Groups such as the Town of Smithfield and National Honor Society Students are such an inspiration and comfort to us, particularly when we get down and depressed. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. Your support keeps us going and gives us the power to rebuild. Thank you and God Bless You!
Sincerely,
Peter G O'Leary
Chimney Rock Village Mayor
