Big Woods Speedway Now Open
The owners of Brown County-based Big Woods Brewing Co. LLC have opened another location. Big Woods Speedway includes a restaurant and beer garden and could employ some 75 workers. During an interview last year on Inside INdiana Business Television, Big Woods co-founder Jim Dunbar and former Speedway Redevelopment Commission Executive Director Scott Harris talked about the development boom in the town’s Main Street District.
The restaurant is 7,500 square feet and the beer garden is considerably larger. It’s located at the corner of 10th Street and Main Street. The location will serve a variety of beer styles from its Quaff ON! Brewing Co. line.
Main Street is continuing to undergo a major renaissance, with projects currently under development including the $50 million "Wilshaw" property and the $2.5 million development funded by Indianapolis-based Paradigm Real Estate Investments that will include the relocated Wilcox Environmental Engineering Inc. headquarters. Daredevil Brewing Co. opened its $2 million brewing operation on Main Street last summer.
The Big Woods project broke ground in September.
