The owner of a popular local brewery has expressed her support for new businesses but voiced concerns regarding a proposed event center and retail space in downtown. She believes that existing businesses have not been adequately informed about the plans and the potential impact they may have on the community.

According to her, the lack of communication surrounding the proposal has left many local entrepreneurs feeling overlooked. She emphasized the importance of collaboration and transparency among business owners, local government, and developers to ensure that the interests of those already invested in the area are considered.

While she welcomes the idea of attracting new customers and enhancing the downtown experience, she insists that the voices of current business owners should be part of the conversation. The brewing company owner hopes that city officials will engage with local businesses to address their concerns and foster a more inclusive approach to development in the area.
