The reopening of the Retlaw Hotel in downtown Fond du Lac next summer will have a major economic impact on the downtown. Dennis Doucette will manage the hotel.
He said they already have calculated that possible impact.
Doucette said with their business model they hope to have a $20 million plus impact each year on the economy.
He said in addition they will be creating 140 jobs and expect the hotel to draw about 40,000 visitors a year to the downtown.
