NASCLA'S 5th Annual Mission Supports Community Recovery Efforts in Marshall, North Carolina
Marshall, North Carolina — The National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) is proud of its 5th Annual Mission, which took place on Thursday, March 5th, 2026, in the Town of Marshall, North Carolina. This year’s initiative in collaboration with Lowe’s Services and the Town of Marshall, supported ongoing recovery and restoration efforts following storm-related damage to key public spaces that serve residents and visitors.
The NASCLA 2026 Annual Mission focused on hands-on improvement projects at Blannahassett Island Park and Rollins Park, two heavily used community parks that experienced significant impacts from flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. NASCLA volunteers worked alongside volunteers from the North Carolina Plumbing and Heating Board, North Carolina Electrical Board, North Carolina General Contractors Board, and Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors of North Carolina to complete a range of projects designed to restore functionality, enhance safety, and strengthen long-term resilience.
This mission reflects NASCLA’s continued commitment to service, collaboration, and meaningful community impact.

“At NASCLA, service is at the heart of what we do,” said Angie Whitaker, NASCLA Executive Director. “Our Annual Mission allows us to extend our work beyond regulatory collaboration and into the communities that need support. We are honored to partner with local leaders in Marshall to help restore these important public spaces.”
At Blannahassett Island Park, volunteers completed facility and infrastructure improvements, including refurbishment of public restrooms involving plumbing, electrical, and exterior painting work. Additional projects included repair and refurbishment of the fishing pier and environmental restoration efforts such as tree installation along the riverbank to support stabilization and recovery.
At Rollins Park, volunteers focused on playground and grounds restoration. Projects included playground edging installation, mulch, shrub and landscaping installation, building concrete forms, and constructing a small foot bridge over a drainage area.
