The owners of Milwaukee Brewing Co. are seeking a $500,000 loan through the Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation to assist with the build-out and expansion of its new location at The Brewery Campus in downtown Milwaukee.
The project, located at 1150 N. 9
th St., just west of the new Milwaukee Bucks Arena, was
announced in March 2016.
Milwaukee Brewing plans to move into the two-story, 175,968-square-foot Shipping Center building at the former Pabst brewery complex. The new brewery will have 63 full time and 70-part time employees, according to plans submitted by company founder Jim McCabe on the loan application.
First Business Bank is the primary lender on the $8.5 million project.
The Milwaukee Brewing project is part of a larger mixed-use redevelopment of the building, being done by Scott Lurie, called The Forty Two. The Forty Two includes
The Factory Office Suites, a Pizza Man restaurant, self storage units and amenities for office users.
The MEDC’s loan committee will review McCabe's request Tuesday.
