The latest snapshot of just how much the coronavirus is costing Eau Claire is striking.
The latest hotel/motel tax report shows business at local hotels dropped by almost two-thirds this spring. May’s report shows just 44 thousand-dollars in hotel/motel taxes. Last May, that number was up over 167 thousand-dollars. Eau Claire finance director Jay Winzenz says the drop means the city will have to postpone some building projects. Visit Eau Claire will also take a hit.
