Economic development officials are currently gathering information to determine the extent of damage caused to businesses during last month’s storm.

If the total damage amount reaches a certain level, the city says the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) may be able to help.

Here’s what the city is looking for from business owners:

“Economic injury is defined as either a loss of revenues due to an interruption in business activity or physical damage to the business’s property.
In order to make the determination, city officials are asking businesses that incurred damages to complete a worksheet that estimates adverse economic impact and property damage.”

You can find the form online.

Once complete, the form can be emailed to : [email protected].

Owners can also mail the forms:

City of Lakewood
ATTN: Melody
6000 Main Street SW
Lakewood, WA 98499

The city wants businesses to understand – the worksheets are not applications for funding, but are meant to gather information which the city will send to the SBA.
