| 摘要： | The 107-year-old Belle of Louisville is back steaming down the Ohio River, but the boat's operators say that without $4.1million in additional funding over the next five years, continued operation will be difficult.Krista Snider, the Belle's CEO, pre-sented a request for funding, includ-ing $725,000 for emergency funding for this year, to the Louisville Metro Council budget committee last month. That is on top of the $528,000 the council previously appropriated for the 2020-21 fiscal year.Of the amount requested in emergency relief, $201,000 is because of shipyard-re-lated labor costs not able to be booked to the capital budget, Snider said. The Depart-ment of Homeland Security requires that watches be kept 24 hours a day, she said.An additional $525,000 in losses is due to COVID-19. The Belle of Louisville finished its 2020 season with roughly a $725,000 budget shortfall.To continue operations, Snider said she also expected to need metro govern-ment funding of $975,000 next year and $710,000 the year after that. |
