MOSS LANDING, Calif. (KSBW) — Businesses in Moss Landing are still feeling the effects of a fire, but many say conditions are improving as they rely on community support and call for greater transparency from plant officials. The Inn at Moss Landing struggled for months to fill rooms, while the nonprofit Marine Life Studies faced delays in its expansion plans after just opening its doors when the fire hit.
“All of us showed up for each other trying to work on things to, you know, make things more positive, and support each other,” a business owner said.
Another business owner shared, “We had a great community around us where they were supporting us, saying like, hey, let’s, you know, in at the Moss Landing point said, let me sell some of your things in the gift shop, in our shop, and just, you know, help back you up.”
Business owners say that greater transparency from those in charge of the plant will be key to restoring confidence and continuing the recovery.
