Officials describe press conference seeking state relief after Hungry Jack Lodge fires
Summary
Council members attended a press conference for businesses affected by the Hungry Jack Lodge fires seeking state economic relief; officials emphasized economic disruption for outfitters and lodging and described related air-system and filter costs for public facilities.
The council discussed a recent press conference in which local officials and business owners sought state assistance for economic losses tied to the Hungry Jack Lodge fires.
"I was asked to go up for the press conference held for the fires up at Hungry Jack Lodge," the chair (S1) said, describing attendance by local officials and business owners. He said the objective was to request state relief for economic loss and that the event drew a strong local turnout.
Speakers at the conference, including business owners, described both immediate economic disruption to outfitters and lodging and added costs to public facilities, such as replacing air-system filters after smoke exposure. Council members said they hoped the publicity would support state-level consideration of relief or assistance.
