“It’s terrible,” said Koren, who owns Lure Bar and Grill with his wife, Joan. “It’s a great loss of business. People come and they won’t use the beach because it turns all green. They won’t boat because it’s all green. It’s a great loss of revenue.”
Koren is among many central Wisconsin residents and property owners who have been battling nettlesome — and at times, dangerous — algae blooms this summer, according to health and environmental officials.
