Downtown Boone Welcomes You Back After Hurricane Helene

In the weeks since Hurricane Helene impacted Boone, our community has come together in remarkable ways. Thanks to the hard work of utility and construction crews, much of downtown has recovered, and many of our shops and restaurants are open and ready to serve you.

As Appalachian State students return and visitors begin seeking the beauty of fall, we ask that you:

• • • • • Avoid areas still heavily involved in recovery, especially in the northern and western parts of the county.
        • Support our local businesses by visiting downtown Boone. If you can’t make it here, consider shopping with us online.
        • Be patient and kind to workers in our community who are still recovering from personal loss.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support and look forward to welcoming you back to downtown Boone. Your visit will play an important role in helping our businesses and community recover.
