Below is an opportunity for those considering starting their own brewpub. I had a long conversation with Dan Madsen. He has been tasked by the city to bring in such an opportunity and to provide incentives i.e. low rent and build out, to attract potential suitors. He's not looking for a national chain, but a "partner" that can grow together. Please contact Dan directly if you're interested. - Dan Madsen City Administrator, Special Counsel City of Rockford, Minnesota (763) 634-8768 danm(a)cityofrockford.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan Madsen <danm(a)cityofrockford.org> Date: Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 4:31 PM Subject: Possible Brew Pub / Tap Room Opportunity To: "brettglenna(a)gmail.com" <brettglenna(a)gmail.com> Good afternoon, Brett. My name is Dan Madsen. I am the City Administrator and Special Counsel for the City of Rockford, Minnesota. Our city is located about ten minutes west of Plymouth on Highway 55. The City recently purchased an old strip mall in an effort to redevelop and vitalize our commercial areas in Rockford. The City Council has set a list of businesses we are looking for to fill our mall, and one of them is a tap room, brewery or brew pub - or brewstillery - to fill a need in our community. As owners of the mall, we are in a good position to provide low rent and build out the space to fit the needs of a brewer willing to come to our area. At your convenience, please give me a call. I would appreciate providing you with more information on our location, goals and general overviews on the opportunity and partnership we are looking for. Thank you, and best regards.
