When Revenues Fall Short – Weathering the Covid-19 Recession

Tuesday, June 9, 2020, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Zoom Webinar

Wisconsin municipal governments are already feeling the COVID-19 recession’s impact, and it is likely to get worse before it gets better. Further, Retail and Main Street have taken an economic hit in our current environment. Non-essential businesses have lost sales and workers, and community leaders and economic development professionals are concerned about the future of local business districts. Room taxes and other revenues are significantly off across all sectors.

This webinar will provide data and practical information on the potential revenue loss impacts on municipalities and how to anticipate and mitigate those impacts.
