Moving The New World Brewery
We heard that the Ybor City's Barrio Latino Commission approved developers' plan to demolish the existing structure at New World Brewery's address. I visited the brewery this morning before they opened. I ran into a rude lady who wasn't very friendly. She did tell me that the brewery would stay open at another location.
She knew nothing about the building and asked me to go to the Ybor City museum for more info, so I did. I talked to Kurt who told that the building has no historical value.
He said that the building next to it
(The old firehouse) does, it will not be touched. The new development will be an extension of it.
