We know how devastating the fire was for the Crooked Spoon, White Pine North and Picnic & Pine. And we all will stand shoulder to shoulder with the owners as they work their way through all the difficult times ahead.

But there also are other businesses nearby that may have suffered from smoke, water, heat, flying embers or all of the above.

If your business suffered any of this kind of damage, Mary Somnis at the EDA wants to hear from you. She is working hard to search out potential sources of funding and other forms of aid that may help you recover. Please send her a report on damage you suffered at [email protected].
