LANSING, MI — The Lansing-based Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association has released its reaction to Governor Whitmer lifting all COVID-19 restrictions next Tuesday, June 22.
President and CEO Justin Winslow said Thursday the industry “is resilient, adaptive and ready to meet this newfound opportunity head on.” He adds in his statement that the COVID-19 restrictions caused one-in-six restaurants in Michigan to permanently close.
The MRLA says it will push for federal investment to help restore the state’s hospitality industry. Downtown Lansing restaurants have been especially hard hit with many state employees working from home.
