Business owners hopeful spring training won t be delayed January 26, 2021 at 4:25 PM EST - Updated January 26 at 6:40 PM
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year, it quickly ended spring training and started an economic downturn.
This year many businesses that depend on the games and the fans are hoping for a better 2021. I don t want the rug pulled out from under us this time, Parmelee said.
She owns the Jumby Bay Island Grill near Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.
When spring training shut down last March because of the coronavirus, it took a huge bite out of business. This is our season, the month of March, and if we miss out on that, it completely [disrupts] the rest of the year, Parmelee said.
