Data shows grim future for Mich. restaurants, survey finds Black voters hesitant on vaccine, a snowy Wednesday
By FOX 2 Staff
(FOX 2) - A new report from the MichiganRestaurant and Lodging Association shows just how dire the outlook is for the hospitality industry in the state amid COVID-19.
Through a survey, MRLA found that nearly 6,000 restaurants - or a third of Michigan restaurants - are likely to close permanently in six months if they do not receive any financial assistance from the government.
The research also reveals the same future is in the cards for about 850 hotels. That accounts for two-thirds of all hotels in the state.
