Economic staff discuss Project Golf lead and Savage Craft Brewery lease review
Summary
Staff updated the board on a lead called Project Golf, a North Carolina parachute company tied to OroAero evaluating local sites, and said Savage Craft Brewery owner Andrew Bobbacher is reviewing contract terms for a potential lease at 777 Main Street.
Board members asked staff for updates on two business-location items: a potential tenant referred to as Project Golf and a downtown brewery lease.
On Project Golf, staff said the lead involves a parachute company from North Carolina with ties to OroAero and that staff are trying to bring the company back for another visit to evaluate one of the candidate buildings. The staff member said the applicant’s code name is “Project Golf” and that it is unrelated to the sport; “Golf. That's the t blue shop project now,” one speaker said. Staff characterized the outreach as ongoing recruitment and site evaluation rather than a finalized commitment.
Separately, staff updated the board on 777 Main Street. “The terms of the contract have been agreed to, by the commission. The contract is being reviewed currently by an by Andrew Bobbacher, who is the owner of Savage Craft Brewery. He is reviewing the contract, and we should be getting it here soon,” the staff member said. Staff also reported that Mr. Bobbacher’s team has conducted 3D imaging and that architects and engineers will visit the building; staff noted the timing of those visits around Bike Week activity.
No formal actions or votes were taken; both items were presented as informational updates so staff can continue recruitment and negotiate lease terms.
