Caterpillar is making a $1 billion investment in Sanford to expand manufacturing in North Carolina. North Carolina is home to the largest manufacturing workforce in the Southeast, and Caterpillar is a long-standing partner who recognizes what our state brings to the table.

September is Gold Star Families Month, a time to honor the families of fallen servicemembers and remember the extraordinary sacrifice they have made for our country. It was an honor to welcome Gold Star Families and Families of the Fallen to the People’s House.

North Carolina’s farmers have been feeling the squeeze of tariffs, drought, crop loss, and skyrocketing fuel prices. Today we’re taking action to ease the burden. I’m directing the NC Department of Revenue to provide relief from the state’s dyed diesel penalty through the end of the year.

North Carolina and Germany share strong economic and cultural ties, with more than 200 German companies employing about 25,000 North Carolinians and growing trade between our state and Germany.

North Carolina has built one of the nation’s strongest life sciences industries, creating good jobs and driving innovation across our state. But as the industry grows, we also have to make sure people can afford the health care and medication they need.

Charlotte is the number two banking center in the nation and continues to attract major investments by financial services companies. Capital Group is adding to that momentum with its new East Coast operations hub.

GOOD NEWS: Daimler Truck Financial Services is investing $7.8 million in its new Charlotte headquarters and creating 276 jobs in Mecklenburg County. This investment is another sign of the opportunity here in North Carolina and the strength of our workforce.

Still thinking about this celebration with the Stanley Cup champions. Proud of what the Canes accomplished last season and looking forward to another season of excellent hockey in North Carolina. Let’s go, Canes!

0210

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

There’s something special about the way the Canes show up for this community and the way fans show up for them. Just listen to the Rialto Owner Hayes Permar.

The Community Brick Project at the Old Marshall Jail Hotel is made from more than 4,000 handmade bricks decorated by community members, and I was honored to have my own brick included.

Western North Carolina’s recovery is about more than rebuilding what was damaged by Hurricane Helene. It’s about building a stronger economic future for the region for the long haul.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

GOOD NEWS: Just in time for leaf-peeping season, the Blue Ridge Parkway between Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain has reopened! There’s still more work underway along the Parkway, including repairs from Hurricane Helene, but this is another important step forward.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I first met Donna over the summer in Spruce Pine when she was eagerly awaiting her new home, so it was an honor to hand her and her husband, Keith, their keys today. After Hurricane Helene, the Wyatts worked with Renew NC to rebuild, and today they have a safe place to call home.

2140

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

For two years, western North Carolinians have not taken a day off on rebuilding. Anna and I spent this weekend celebrating the people who are powering the region’s recovery.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

In the days after Hurricane Helene, Pastor Bynum and the members at St. James AME in Asheville turned their church into a hub for food, water, and other supplies while going out into the community to care for their neighbors.

1252

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I spent time with local leaders and business owners in Chimney Rock to see firsthand some of the progress that’s been made since Hurricane Helene.

1181

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

As we mark two years since Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina, the headlines may have faded, but the work remains.

OBX UPDATE: NCDOT is activating an emergency ferry service between Stumpy Point and Rodanthe, reconnecting Hatteras Island and the North Carolina mainland while a section of N.C. 12 remains closed.

Yesterday, members of my Cabinet and I joined members of the Western NC Conference of the United Methodist Church’s recovery staff to help repair and rebuild a home in Barnardsville.

It was an honor to hand Dennis Fultz the keys to his brand-new house in Leicester. Dennis and his mother lived in their home for a decade before the storm destroyed it. Now, thanks to Renew NC’s Single-Family Housing Program, Dennis has a safe place to call home.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

🌊Strong winds, dangerous surf, and coastal flooding are expected to continue through the weekend as this slow-moving nor’easter continues to move away from NC. Rip current risk remains high along much of the coast.

In honor of Dolly Parton’s life and work, it is an honor to proclaim 9/25 “9 to 5 Day – or Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Day of Reading.” Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has helped millions of children discover the joy of reading, including more than 240,000 children across North Carolina.

Two years after Hurricane Helene, western North Carolina continues to rebuild. Yesterday in Lansing, we announced $5 million in new grants to continue to strengthen the downtowns across the region that small businesses depend on. The progress is real, but much work remains.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

My office is closely monitoring the situation on the Outer Banks, and NC Emergency Management and NC Department of Transportation are in contact with Dare County emergency officials. We are on standby and ready to deploy resources if conditions worsen.

1202

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Strong winds, dangerous surf, and coastal flooding are expected along the coast, especially along the Outer Banks into this weekend. NC-12 is closed between the Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe, and most ferry service is suspended.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

We had a great time welcoming the Carolina Hurricanes to the People’s House and celebrating this incredible team, their historic playoff run, and what the Canes mean to our state. This team gives North Carolina something to cheer for together, and we’re proud to celebrate our Stanley Cup champions.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

It tastes better out of the Stanley Cup. Let’s go, Canes!

North Carolina is once again leading the way in flight. I joined NCDOT today to celebrate the state’s first electric air taxi flights through eLIFT-NC.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Our film industry has built a strong presence in North Carolina, with a talented workforce and communities across our state benefiting from the jobs and investment that productions bring. We need to make sure production companies have the certainty they need to keep choosing North Carolina.

1253

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

North Carolina is one of the happiest states in America – and the happiest state in the Southeast! That’s according to WalletHub and thanks to our well-being, work environment, and community. I am focused on enhancing our quality of life so that our state remains a special place to call home.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Our state is stronger, and our country is stronger, thanks to the Latino community. I am proud to celebrate Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month and recognize the many ways Latino North Carolinians contribute to our state. We are stronger when we recognize that every person has value.

1315

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

There’s something special about coming together to serve others. It was great to work alongside Activate Good volunteers in Raleigh on 9/11 and see the impact that can happen when people show up, pitch in, and work together. That spirit of service makes our communities stronger.

Every child should have access to the health care they need, and for many students, having those services available at school can make all the difference.

The Biltmore Championship brought thousands of PGA golf fans to Asheville over the past week.

Wishing all those observing Yom Kippur a meaningful day of reflection, prayer, and renewal. May you have a peaceful and meaningful fast and a good and blessed year.

The proposed transaction between Atrium and WakeMed has improved substantially in recent days. Health care costs are too high, so I asked Atrium to cap price increases at WakeMed to not more than 1.5 times the annual increase in Medicare costs for the next five years.

North Carolina is a sports state, and I am excited to welcome the Women’s Tennis Association headquarters and Finals to Charlotte.

Full recovery after Helene includes making sure our mountain economy works for the long haul.

1171

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

North Carolina’s economy is only as strong as the people who power it. Today, I joined the NC AFL-CIO’s annual convention to talk about how we can work together to lower costs for working families, invest in our workforce, and make sure more people have a path to good jobs with good wages.

To connect federal dollars for natural disaster recovery to the outcome of an election is absolutely offensive.

The U.S. Navy’s new Fleet Readiness Center East in Kinston is a major investment in our military and eastern North Carolina.

The WTA Finals is one of tennis' biggest events, and I’m proud of all the partners that helped bring this event to North Carolina.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

After Helene, North Carolina was the fastest state to seek support from FEMA to buy out damaged homes after a major hurricane in more than two decades. I am grateful that FEMA dollars are continuing to get out the door faster and into communities in North Carolina.

1192

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

We need to embrace innovation, but we have to do it in a way that doesn’t harm North Carolinians. Data centers should bring their own clean power and pay for their own energy, not leave families paying higher electricity bills because of data centers’ energy demands.

10467

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

North Carolina’s film industry supports thousands of jobs and brings millions of dollars in investment to communities across our state. Over the past 10 years, production companies have spent more than $1.4 billion in North Carolina and supported nearly 67,000 jobs.

The college application process can be overwhelming, but NC College Connect is simplifying it for North Carolina high school seniors.

1110

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Earlier this year, I got to meet with tennis legend Billie Jean King, and today I’m excited for big tennis news for Charlotte and North Carolina: The Women’s Tennis Association is coming to Charlotte, bringing its headquarters, jobs, and the WTA Finals to our state from 2027 through 2029.

Governor Josh Stein @ncgovernor.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Yesterday we kicked off Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month at the People’s House and honored the many contributions of Latino North Carolinians.
