Leaders from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture traveled to upper East Tennessee this week to witness firsthand the cleanup efforts underway and identify remaining needs following the devastation of Tropical Storm Helene.
Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, D.V.M., Deputy Commissioner Andy Holt, and State Forester Heather Slayton were joined by State Representatives Renea Jones and Rebecca Alexander in Unicoi and Washington Counties.
The visit underscored the state’s commitment to supporting farmers and forest landowners as they continue to recover and rebuild from the storm, which hit the region in September 2024.
