Colonial Williamsburg Cuts Jobs
FOXBusiness
WILLIAMSBURG, Va.--Colonial Williamsburg is slashing employment due to declining sales.
The popular tourist attraction said Wednesday it's laying off 140 people and planning to leave another 140 jobs vacant. Colonial Williamsburg employs approximately 3,000 people.
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Chief Executive Colin Campbell told employees that the attraction must become smaller and leaner in a written message. Colonial Williamsburg says ticket sales, retail sales and visits to hotels and restaurants are down.
Foundation spokesman Tom Shrout says the layoffs were designed to minimize impact on visitors.
