I suspect there will be a surge in travel this next year due to the effects of quarantine fatigue from 2020. However, I'm not sure if or when convention and business travel will recover and that accounts for a large chunk of our downtown economy. Most of the major downtown hotels are built around large conventions and many of our restaurants and bars feed off of them.
I am still optimistic, long-term but I also believe that people who are acting like everything is fine will be blindsided when the full economic impact of this is realized.
