Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. Issues Statement Regarding Nashville-Area Tornado
March 04 2020 - 2:45PM
Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP) shared the following
statement from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Colin
Reed, related to the March 3, 2020 tornado that impacted Middle
Tennessee.
“First and foremost, I want to express our deep
concern and sadness for those in our community who have lost loved
ones, homes and businesses as a result of Tuesday’s devastating
tornado. We were fortunate that none of our assets and attractions,
including Gaylord Opryland, were damaged during what was an intense
and unpredictable storm. Our businesses remain operational, and our
Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium events are going on as planned
with no service interruptions. While the damage has been severe in
other parts of the city and region, downtown Nashville’s
entertainment district was largely unaffected and remains open for
business. Our company is offering ongoing support and resources to
impacted employees to assist with their personal recovery efforts,
and we also stand ready to support community-wide recovery efforts
in the days and weeks ahead.
As we approach the 10-year anniversary of the
Nashville flood, we are reminded of the resilience that the city of
Nashville and the state of Tennessee showed during that time and
are heartened by the fact that Nashville has again come together as
a community to assist those who need our help. In particular, I
would like to thank the first responders who have worked tirelessly
on recovery efforts. There is more work to be done, but we feel
confident that Nashville will once again emerge a stronger city on
the other side of this tragedy.”
