NEW ORLEANS - For nearly a year, the global community has been fighting COVID-19 s debilitating health effects and resulting financial losses. Like most states in the U.S., Louisiana s economy took a major hit during 2020.
The pandemic s blow to one of the state s major industries was highlighted in a Dec. 11 report from the state auditor s office.
After inspecting the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, an analyst noted that while the district’s records and statements reflected a high level of organization and integrity, the District received $37.7 million in hotel occupancy tax revenue, which was a decrease of $17.5 million from fiscal year 2019.
