Although the state is still researching the extent of the impact, economic development officials want to ask the Legis- lature in the upcoming short session for funds for low-inter- est loans for small businesses affected by wildfires, perhaps triggered by an official disas- ter declaration by the governor. Reduced revenues and cash flow for businesses due to dis- ruptive wildfires this summer could impact their credit rat- ings and their access to capital, Jason Lewis-Berry, director of Regional Solutions and a jobs and economy policy adviser to Gov. Kate Brown, told legisla- tors on Tuesday. The state said last month that the fires didn’t impact the unemployment rate statewide, but certain regions suffered higher job losses in September. About 600 more leisure and hospitality jobs in central Ore- gon, the Columbia River Gorge and southwest Oregon were cut in September than is typi- cal, according to the Oregon Employment Department. Lewis-Berry said the state is still collecting data on lodg- ing tax receipts and insurance claims, which may provide a fuller picture of the economic impact. Special wildfire recovery councils in southwest Ore- gon and the Columbia River Gorge are also working on rec- ommendations to help local economies bounce back.

Broader economic impacts were also felt in Eastern Ore- gon — not only did fires affect air quality, but road closures of Interstate 84 on the state’s northern border likely impacted summer travel and commerce, Lewis-Berry told legislators. “Even though Eastern Ore- gon technically wasn’t directly impacted by the fires, you cer- tainly had a lot of people and businesses that were due to the road closures,” Lewis-Berry said.
