Show A-4 Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, October 24-27, 2020 The Park Record Eating in the elements THREE OPEN SEATS THREE GREAT CANDIDATES JAY HAMBURGER/PARK RECORD The Park City Council on Friday extended the dining-deck program along Main Street by several weeks. The program had been scheduled to end on Oct. 30 and was extended to Nov. 25. The Historic Park City Alliance, a group that represents the interests of Main Street businesses, supported the extension. The dining decks are seen as especially important this year as restaurants attempt to attract diners amid the spread of the novel coronavirus. Continued from A-3 Don’t stop at the top of your ballot!

The community seemed busy during both of the months, with the crowds on some days resembling those during the ski season. Park City seemed to benefit from a combination of day-tripping Utahns and peo- scdems.org ple from outside of the state but within driving distance, and there were reports of businesses beating their sales projections. The increase in September could be especially noteworthy since it was timed as the scheduled start of the ski season approached. Initial hiring for the winter usually can start in September with the ski season looming in November even though hiring traditionally picks up significantly in October. The rate in September was well above the number from the same month in 2019, when the figure was 2.3%. The unemployment figures that will be tallied in coming months will largely depend on the ski season. Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort have announced their blueprints for the first-ever socially distanced ski season, but it is unclear what sort of numbers the tourism industry will post with so many unknowns, like the state of the spread of the illness and the economic conditions during the winter. The Sundance Film Festival, an especially lucrative stretch of the winter and an employment driver, will be significantly scaled back. The unemployment rate in Wasatch County, meanwhile, rose to 6.9% in September, up slightly from the previous month. The rate in Wasatch County is notable since the Park City economic sphere of influence reaches into that county.
