— from Victoria Compton for Economic Development Council —
The San Juan County Economic Development Council (EDC) has created a survey to assess existing and potential negative economic impacts from recent events. Responses to the survey are confidential and will be anonymized, aggregated and used to determine programs and resources intended to mitigate economic impacts.
Business owners and managers are urged to respond to the survey as soon as possible here: www.sanjuansedc.org/2020survey. For more information, please email info@sanjuansedc.org.
The EDC thanks San Juan County, the Town of Friday Harbor, and the Washington State Department of Commerce for their support of this survey.
The San Juan County Economic Development Council (EDC) strives to strengthen and diversify the economy of San Juan County. We believe a strong economy builds a strong community.

In his Saturday ZOOM meeting with the SJC Democrats, Congressman Larsen referenced small business emergency loan money that could be released if A) the Senate passed the relief bill and B) at least 5 businesses in the county indicated distress from Pandemic related loss of revenue. Is this part of gathering the data to qualify for those funds?
