The City of Burlington could opt to seek a state grant to help finance the conversion of a historic downtown building into a craft brewery.
The Common Council is slated to consider the grant application and approval of a developer’s agreement with developer Tim Sullivan at a meeting on Jan. 21.
The grant could cover about $171,000 of a project that has a projected total investment of $1.3 million.
The brewery proposal is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. Copies of the newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail.
