Council approves Class C liquor license for Tamry Hall as new owners prepare December closing
Summary
Cojo Ventures’ applicants, Courtney Grandia and Jeff Jones, told the council they plan to close on Tamry Hall on Dec. 1 and asked for a Class C retail alcohol license; council approved the license, and staff said it would become effective on Dec. 1.
The Pella City Council approved a Class C retail alcohol license for Cojo Ventures LLC, which plans to operate the downtown event venue Tamry Hall.
Courtney Grandia, who identified herself and her husband as prospective owners, thanked the council and described the venue as a downtown gathering place she and her partner intend to maintain and build upon. "We want to honor that legacy while also investing in its future," Grandia said, adding the owners plan to close on the building on Dec. 1 and begin booking events for the new year.
Staff recommended approval of the application, saying the license would take effect on Dec. 1 if council approved. Council moved and adopted the license application.
Why it matters: The license permits on-site alcohol sales at a downtown venue that staff characterized as a community gathering place. Council approval moves ownership and operations toward a planned December opening.
What’s next: Staff will complete licensing paperwork and notify relevant enforcement divisions of the new license and effective date.
