Associated Press: Small business owners in Davenport — stuck between “road closed” signs, high floodwaters and Interstate 74 bridge closures — have been struggling to stay afloat for months, said Tom Lagomarcino, co-owner of Lagomarcino’s. Lagomarcino told the Quad-City Times that all the businesses have been affected. “We’re not downtown, where the poor folks have had to close their businesses. But River Drive is one of the major thoroughfares to get into the Village, and it’s been closed probably seven out of eight weeks.” Lagomarcino said he’s hearing sales have dropped as much as 20-40% at some businesses.
