I know that the city is struggling for revenue. These reductions won't help in the short term, but in the long term gains will far exceed losses. Especially when the compounding effect is considered for the closing of businesses that can't afford the regular fees. Bodega looks forward to returning to business as soon as the doctors and scientists advise that it is safe to do so. Thanks again and I wish you all to stay safe and sound. Cheers!
