Costs for repairs to storm damage in Santa Cruz are piling up due to the mudslides, downed trees, and power outages, as well as flooded businesses, roadways and residences. The number tied to storm damages is expected to grow as first responders are still finding and experiencing damages.
Santa Cruz County emergency official David Reid told the Business Journal that the storms have caused more than $55 million in damage including more than $21 million for roads. Plus, lost revenues for area businesses are estimated to be between $5 million and $10 million.
