During a visit to Carteret County on Monday, July 19, North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey will speak at the Building Inspector’s Conference in Atlantic Beach and present the Commissioner’s Award to Richard A. “Dick” Lewis for outstanding service over 50 years with State Farm.

In his address to the Building Inspector’s Conference, Commissioner Causey, who is also the State Fire Marshal, will discuss the Office of State Fire Marshal’s role in overseeing building inspectors in North Carolina.

Commissioner Causey will also award $12,915 in a fire grant to Mill Creek Fire Association. The matching grants are part of a statewide program that awards nearly $9.9 million to 554 volunteer fire departments.
