DeJoy says the second approval was for the new owner's State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Act documents. He says they also approved the state Historical Review so the project can receive Historic Tax Credits. DeJoy says permits can now be granted for work to begin on the building. He says city officials are "tremendously excited" about the opening, hopefully before the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in August...

A father and son from the Buffalo area are undertaking the project. DeJoy says they expect to begin brewing three types of beer before the brewery and restaurant formally open to the public.
