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

“People will maybe go to
the brewery, then maybe go
to the movie theater, then
maybe go downtown and get
a late-night snack,” Hall
said. “We think there’s a lot
of possibilities having this
brewery downtown.”
It also will help connect
the north and south parts of
downtown, he said.
“Pretty much from
Mecanico to Umpqua Bank
is the main portion of our
Main Street; however, city
hall got built farther along
on Main Street, farther
south,” Hall said. “The goal
in doing that was to help ex-
tend Main Street to city hall.
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.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The
American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion’s Rural Entrepreneurship
Challenge is due on June 30.
The competition provides a
chance for people to showcase
ideas and business innovations
that benefit rural regions of the
United States. Competitors may
submit for-profit business ideas
related to food and agriculture
online at www.strongru-
ralamerica.com/challenge.
Applications, which include a
business plan, video pitch and
photo, must be submitted on-
line by June 30.

been brewing and making
wine for 25 to 30 years.”
The building will include
a full-service, family restau-
rant with outdoor seating.
“We’re going to make
beer, kombucha, ciders,” he
said. “We also have two dif-
ferent levels of rooftop seat-
ing. 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.
SALEM — The Oregon Community Foundation board of di-
rectors approved more than $631,000 in grants to northern
Willamette Valley nonprofits in May.
Grants awarded included ones to support health care pro-
grams, education, and youth and families, such as $90,000 to
Polk County Family & Community Outreach to support Mid-Val-
ley Parenting, providing coordination and delivery of parenting
education programs in Polk and Yamhill counties.
Other Polk organizations receiving grants from the founda-
tion include:
Family Building Blocks — $25,000 to create a fully opera-
tional relief nursery in Polk County to prevent child abuse and
neglect by providing home visiting and therapeutic classroom
programs for at-risk families.
Marion-Polk Food Share Inc. — $30,000 for a new refrigerat-
ed delivery truck and an electric pallet jack to improve the flow
of emergency food to thousands of food insecure families in
Marion and Polk counties.
