Searle pointed out that in researching travel trends, that trips to tourism sites are typically within 250 miles of home, as a “comfort zone.”  He noted that in this past two weeks there have been a good number of vehicles seen in Jamestown with out of state license plates.

He said, stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, and the limited accessibility to restaurants, the restaurant and lodging tax collections in Jamestown were down about 50 percent in the past two months.
