Decatur County, IN Partners With Brewery On $100K Sand Volleyball Court Project
Tree City Brew Co. had plans to expand its location and drive additional revenue. Jessica Barker, Project Coordinator at the EDCGDC, sought data to find out, how could the brewer pitch the local DMO on the positive economic impact of the project?
The Challenge
The Economic Development Corporation of Greensburg - Decatur County discovered that a local brewery sought grant funding for its plans to grow business revenue. How could they help the brewery make a strong pitch to Visit Greensburg, the local DMO, and secure funding for the project?
The Outcome
Tree City Brew Co. used Placer dwell time and YoY demand data to secure $49k in grant funding, 108% ($53k) of which the owner matched for enhancements, including professional floodlighting, additional parking and an outdoor stage. The courts will open in April before the solar eclipse event.
