As local businesses adapt to the challenges of COVID-19, the Janesville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau transitions part of its operation to help. As part of a mid-year update, Executive Director Christine Rebout told the city council how the bureau’s website now features a restaurant guide promoting delivery and take-out. It also highlights virtual events and stay-cation opportunities. Rebout also explained how visitor spending increased 1.6% to $147 million last year, but projections for this year will be a challenge.
