A Georgia county predicted that it would lose $100 million in revenue after Major League Baseball (MLB) pulled its All-Star Game over a voting law that was signed into law by the governor last month.
“This event would have directly impacted our county and the state, as visitors spend their dollars on local accommodations, transportation, entertainment and recreation, food and retail throughout the county,” the Cobb County Travel and Tourism said, according to WSB-TV. “This would have been a big boost to Cobb businesses and help with recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.”
