KENOSHA, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) – Damage to buildings and businesses from rioting and fires in Kenosha is estimated at $50 million dollars.
The damage stemmed from the aftermath of the August 23 shooting of Jacob Blake by a Kenosha police officer. The Kenosha News reports that Supervisor Terry Rose cited an estimate from the Kenosha Area Business Alliance of damage to 100 businesses and as many as 40 “out of business for good.”
During a Tuesday night meeting of the county board, Rose called on leadership to consider action on what he termed “the biggest crisis in the history of Kenosha County.”
