Building Codes cost state disaster funds

 Building codes in North Carolina may cost the state up to  $70 million in FEMA funds. FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program uses a point system to assess potential projects. North Carolina automatically loses 5 points because it uses the 2015 International Building Code standards which the Legislature has not updated.
