KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Marriott Downtown will temporarily layoff, furlough or reduce hours for 280 employees in response to a downturn in business because of COVID-19.

The company sent the WARN letter to the city on June 11.

The letter said the company did not originally plan for the changes to last long, but now predict them lasting longer than six months due to the pandemic.

Affected employees have been notified, according to the company.
