The IDA Board of Directors has awarded a contract to B&B Consultants for a $105,000 design contract for the $1.49 million Phase II renovations at Green View.
Green View, located in a former Daystrom Furniture building that once employed 1000 people, was purchased by the IDA in 2011.
The IDA purchased the building and replaced a portion of the roof in Phase I of the project.
Phase II will complete the roof repairs, while making general upfits to the front section of the building and necessary parking lot and façade improvements.
Construction is planned to be completed by December.
James Gordon, the owner of Springfield Distillery, comes by his interest in whiskey naturally. “I grew up with memories of my father moonshining,” says Gordon, who opened his Halifax County distillery in August 2016. “My father is one of the first two private individuals in South Africa to get his license for distilling liquor. I get to tap into 25 years of distillery experience.”
