Opportunity For Brewery Expansion

The link below is an attempt by my hometown, Battle Creek, MI, to attract experienced brewers, distillers, etc. to open a new brewery or a second location of an existing Midwest brewery in downtown Battle Creek. Up to $200,000 seed money is available, but I did not see the details of whether it is a grant, no-interest loan, etc. As I skimmed thru the proposal the emphasis seemed to be requiring that any applicants must have experience operating a brewery/distillery, so this thread will apply only to a few of you who read this. The proposal also states that a restaurant must also be included in the business operation at some point after opening, so you also need to know something about food operations.

I have no association to the Battle Creek Unlimited folks who created this proposal; i'm in it only to try to get another brewery here in town. Anything that I wrote above is my interpretation of some of the details in the proposal, so if you are interested, you're on your own to know and understand the details in this link. I'll make the commitment to come and drink your beers and eat your food.
