MLB’s decision to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta, Georgia is set to cost Cobb County more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue.
"[Georgia] is barely making it out of this pandemic," Ortiz said. "And now they’re faced, under the Biden administration, with potentially higher taxes, a higher minimum wage, more red tape and regulations, and now this." Ortiz said the economic benefit of the game was an "opportunity" for small businesses in Cobb County, particularly minority-owned businesses, to generate much-needed revenue for an already strained city economy.More Related News
