The COVID-19 pandemic has left Credit Union Place in Summerside $1.2 million below revenue targets, officials say.
Credit Union Place closed last March and did not reopen until June.
J.P. DesRosiers, Summerside s director of community services, said the facility lost revenue from events, convention business and traffic at the restaurant and fitness centre.
Even after it reopened, most shows and events had to be postponed, and recreational programming altered to serve far fewer people in order to adhere to public health restrictions.
