Independence business owner to open brewery By Emily Mentzer The Itemizer-Observer INDEPENDENCE — The old warehouse building on South Main Street in Inde- pendence called out to Yul Provancha years ago. “I drove by the building for 20 years and just said, ‘wow, I want that building,’” Provancha recalled. “When I bought the building, I just knew it would be different and it would be good for the community.” With help from a $100,000 Oregon Main Street grant, Provancha is going to turn the building into Boom Town Brewery. He hopes to open the new brewery and restaurant before the Fourth of July 2018. “The building just kind of said, ‘Hey, make me into a brewery,’” Provancha said. “I probably wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t in my blood.” His family comes from France and Scotland, he said. The French side is a line of winemakers, but the Scots were brewers. “My mom has the her- itage of beer, and my dad’s side is the heritage of wine” Provancha said. “So I’ve WEBSITE The Polk County Itemizer- Observer website, www.polkio.com, is updat- ed each week by Wednes- day afternoon.

We think this is a key loca- tion on the southern part of Main Street and will bring activity to that area, as well as development.” The grant money, through the Oregon Main Street pro- gram, part of Oregon Her- itage, which is part of the Oregon Parks and Recre- ation Department, is a reim- bursement grant, meaning Provancha may be reim- bursed for renovations. “He has to have the money already,” Hall ex- plained. “We’ll reimburse him once a needed renova- tion is done.” Music from the Redgate Winery & Fieldhouse WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Farm Bureau Federa- tion’s Rural Entrepreneurship Challenge is due on June 30.

You can be outside, look at the stars and watch per- formances down in the little amphitheater.” In the courtyard, Provan- cha is building a 13-foot wa- terfall and living wall, as well as an amphitheater for performances and produc- tions. “We’re hoping to have live music daily,” he said. “It will be the first brewery in Inde- pendence and Monmouth.” In fact, it will be in a cate- gory of its own, as most breweries are not located in a downtown area, said Imani Hall, Independence Down- town Association manager. “A lot of them are in in- dustrial areas,” he said. “They’re great breweries, great locations, great places to eat, but they’re destina- tions. You have to go there to go to the brewery.” Having a brewery down- town will benefit other busi- nesses, Hall said.
