is underway with vaccinations, stimulus, and phased re-openings. He also
noted that the impacts were felt very uneven by race, geography and
industrial sector.
Ellis reviewed the business survey results and how Kent compared to other
surrounding cities. Some of the metrics were around income reduction,
landlord support received, or other types of assistance received such as PPP,
local City grants, King County COVID Relief, Seattle Stabilization fund or
county grants. He also reviewed the concerns of business owners regarding
impacts of the challenges they have faced during the pandemic.
Details were provided on round four of the state's Working Washington

Ellis discussed the Port Partnership application of $60,000 which is matched
by $30,000 from the City of Kent. Ellis indicated there are opportunities to
invest in microenterprises now and suggested taking a closer look at tenant
improvements. He indicated that the escalating costs are a barrier to existing
business expansion or new entrants, especially restaurants. There is a
perceived gap in technical assistance: architecture and construction project
