SALEM — This summer’s
harsh fire season left behind
economic damages that Ore-
gon officials and members of
the business community are
still trying to quantify.
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. In

those areas, the Chetco Bar and
Eagle Creek fires were particu-
larly severe.
“We’re trying to have this
be a data-driven and local-
ly-driven process to inform
the kind of support we can
deliver,” Lewis-Berry said.
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.
