The affects of the coronavirus & Coachella cancellation is causing anxiety and uncertainty in Indio
A general view of atmosphere during day 2 of the 2014 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club on April 19, 2014 in Indio, Calif.
The storm could be a metaphor for what Miller and this town of 90,000 full-time residents are dealing with in the wake of the massively-popular music festivals' rescheduling from April to October last week under orders from Riverside County and local health officials. That's causing no small amount of anxiety among business owners who are anticipating a sharp drop-off in business as a result.
Lazar's concerns extend to the restaurant sector, particularly so-called"dive" establishments, which she believes could suffer from a"perception [that they]…maybe aren't as proactive about corona[virus] as other restaurants are." As for Indio itself, Miller says the city can handle the delay of the $3.5 million-plus in tax revenue -- a substantial chunk of its $81 million budget -- generated by the Goldenvoice festivals each April by dipping into the city's $20 million reserve fund.
Because the festivals were postponed well outside the 72-hour cancellation policies employed at the majority of area hotels, most festival goers will be able to cancel without penalty -- though many are choosing to simply reschedule their reservations for October. Based on an informal survey of hotels in the area, the majority are allowing festival goers who made reservations during the three weekends in question to reschedule for the same rate in the fall.
