Columbus Zoo Begins Furloughing Workers

The Columbus Zoo is furloughing 29 workers and eliminating 33 non-animal care positions due to financial problems resulting from COVID-19 restrictions.  

The Zoo has been closed since March 16 and hopes to reopen this summer.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
