More than half of the Lewis County businesses that closed after the July flooding had reopened, according to a Sept. 24 Weston Democrat report. The story does not provide the total number of businesses affected or an exact count still closed, so it cannot establish a current countywide reopening tally.
The report includes updates from four local businesses:
- Loveberry Bake Shop and Grazer’s Market are both operating. Loveberry’s reported hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Grazer’s reported hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon Saturday.
- Blue’s Bar has reopened its upstairs area while construction continues on the ground floor. The report said the remaining work was projected to take another two to three weeks as of Sept. 24.
- The Guild has returned to its normal hours after reopening.
These are the business conditions reported on Sept. 24 and may have changed. The available recent reporting supports the broader statement that more than half had reopened, but it does not provide a reliable exact count of all reopenings or businesses still shut.
