Details about the project to convert the building that once housed Fowle & Sons General Merchandise into mixed-use building are scheduled to be discussed Monday during the Washington City Council’s meeting.

Those details should surface during the second of two required public hearings regarding the use of $500,000 in grant funding to help pay for the proposed project. The hearing is set for 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

New Vision Partners LLC has plans to convert the three-story building at 189 W. Main St. into a brewery/restaurant — Castle Island Brewery — on the ground floor, with residential use on the upper floors. The building’s rooftop would be used for dining purposes, according to a city document. The residential part of the building is outside the scope of the Community Development Grant Project.

The new business would contribute up to $200,000 toward the upfit and renovation of the building, according to another city document. The $500,000 grant represents 71.4 percent of the project’s cost.

Previously, City Manager Bobby Roberson said New Vision Partners would need to obtain state permits for the project. Some of those permits would come from the State Historic Preservation Office, which has to sign off on the proposed use of the historic building, and the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, which regulates the sale, manufacture, purchase, consumption, possession and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the state.

In October 2014, the council amended the city’s zoning code to allow microbreweries in certain commercial districts.

In late 2014, the Historic Preservation Commission voted 3-2 to grant a certificate of appropriateness to New Vision Partners to install balconies on certain areas of the second and third floors of the building. The balconies plan, according to Trent Tetterton, who addressed the commission concerning the balconies, called for several of the building’s windows to be replaced by doors and for the doors to open to balconies. Tetterton, an official with the Washington Harbor District Alliance, has played a part in helping find buyers and/or developers for downtown properties.

The council meets at 5:30 p.m. Monday in the Council Chambers in the Municipal Building, 102 E. Second St. To view the council’s agenda for a specific meeting, visit the city’s web­site at www.washingtonnc.gov, click “City Agendas.” Locate the appropriate agenda (by date) under the “Washington City Council” heading, then click on that specific agenda listing.
