Major League Baseball's decision to move its All-Star Game from Georgia in response to a new restrictive voting law is likely to cost the state tens of millions of dollars.
The "estimated lost economic impact" from the relocation is more than $100 million, according to a statement from Holly Quinlan, president and CEO of Cobb Travel and Tourism. This comes as the tourism industry, one of the hardest hit during the Covid-19 pandemic, is still struggling to rebound.More Related News
