A local restaurant destroyed by Hurricane Helene will reopen soon, but a business in the same shopping center won't be back. L.H. Kirksey, who owns River Village with his brothers Carl and Lee Kirksey, said about 50% of the businesses that were in the shopping/office complex will be coming back to it. The shopping center was flooded as water from Hurricane Helene caused the nearby Catawba River to rise in late September.
