Windstream gives back after Hurricane Florence makes landfall

“From cases of water to macaroni and cheese, the last thing those impacted need to think about is when they will go to the grocery store or where their next meal is going to come from,” said Stacy Hale, Windstream area president. “At Windstream, we saw a need and wanted to make sure we could provide support for the community.”

Early estimates sit at about $17 billion to $22 billion in lost economic output and property damage. To put that into perspective: Hurricane Katrina cost $125 billion in damages, and Hurricane Irma cost $50 billion in damages.

“At Windstream, we’re dedicated to taking care of the communities where we live and serve,” said Hale. “We remain committed to Wadesboro and all of the other communities impacted by Hurricane Florence.”

Buyer seeking out neighborhoods that offer fiber access not only boosts livability and productivity today, but increases the home’s value long-term. According to a study by Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Council Americas, as reported by the Fiber Broadband Association, fiber internet capability in the home can have a direct impact on the home’s future value, by as much as 3.1 percent. To put that into perspective, that’s $9,000 on a $300,000 home, or about $5,400 on a $175,000 home, or, the value equivalent of adding a fireplace or a half bath, without the mess and headache of home improvement.
