8
00:00:43.376 --> 00:00:51.551
HOW THE MIXED-USE DISTRICT IS
COMING TO LIFE.
AMY, THANKS FOR JOINING US.
>> HI, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

9
00:00:51.551 --> 00:00:57.891
>> THERE'S BEEN AS YOU KNOW SO
MUCH TALK ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT
AND THIS PROJECT FOR SO MANY
YEARS, A NUMBER OF YEARS. AND

10
00:00:57.891 --> 00:01:06.566
NOW IT'S REALLY COME TO LIFE. I
THINK WHEN IT COMES TO THE HOTEL
WE SAW THAT PHYSICALLY WE COULD
SEE THAT THIS WEEK WITH THE

11
00:01:06.566 --> 00:01:13.606
HOTEL SIGNAGE GOING UP ATOP THE
FACILITY THERE. TALK ABOUT
PROGRESS ON THE BOTTLEWORKS
HOTEL.

12
00:01:13.606 --> 00:01:21.648
>> SURE. AS YOU MENTIONED LAST
WEEK OUR SIGN WENT UP. WE LIKE
TO JOKE THAT SHE GOT HER CROWN
LAST WEEK. THAT'S THE FIRST STEP

13
00:01:21.648 --> 00:01:28.354
TO REALLY GETTING THESE DOORS
OPEN. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED IN
THE COMING WEEKS TO DO THE
FINISHING -- COMPLETE THE

14
00:01:28.354 --> 00:01:33.026
FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE HOTEL
SIDE OF THINGS AND EVERYTHING
ELSE FALLING INTO PLACE AFTER
THAT.

15
00:01:33.026 --> 00:01:40.600
>> TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT THE HOTEL, BECAUSE IT
REALLY IS UNIQUE. PLUS WHERE IT
IS LOCATED, IT WILL BE ACROSS

16
00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:50.510
THE STREET FROM THE GARAGE, THE
FOOD HALL, ABOUT TWO DOZEN FOOD
VENDORS AND ESTABLISHMENTS WILL
BE LOCATED THERE, REALLY ADDING

17
00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:59.552
TO WHAT I IMAGINE IS ENVISIONED
AS A PRETTY COOL VIBE IN THAT
AREA.
>> YOU'LL, SO THE HOTEL ITSELF,

18
00:01:59.552 --> 00:02:14.100
IT HAS 139 ROOMS, 9 EVENT SPACES
TOTALING 12,000 SQUARE FEET, AN
URBAN OPEN AIR COURTYARD, NEXT
TO BOTTLEWORKS HOTEL, THE GRAUNL

19
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:28.982
FOOD HALL WILL BE HOME TO
REGIONAL AND LOCAL VENDORS
MAKING BOTTLEWORKS DISTRICT A
TRUE HUB. AND I THINK AS WE

20
00:02:28.982 --> 00:02:35.221
THINK ABOUT MASS AVE. THERE IS
NO WHEN WHEN YOU DESCRIBE IT
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GO, HOW
YOU'RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE ALL

21
00:02:35.221 --> 00:02:43.496
THE TASTES AND FLAVORS OF THAT
AREA. THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANT
PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT WHEN THEY
THINK ABOUT BOTTLEWORKS

22
00:02:43.496 --> 00:02:53.573
DISTRICT. MEMBERS OF THAT
COMMUNITY AS WELL. ON THAT EAST
END. THAT DISTRICT WHERE
EVERYONE CAN COME, AND

23
00:02:53.573 --> 00:02:59.512
EXPERIENCE THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS
AND TASTES, AND ALL OF THE
EXPERIENCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE THERE.

24
00:02:59.512 --> 00:03:05.618
>> AGAIN, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT BOTTLEWORKS
FOR SO LONG. IT'S ACTUALLY
COMING TO LIFE, ACTUALLY

25
00:03:05.618 --> 00:03:16.396
HAPPENING, AS I MENTIONED THE
HOTEL TO OPEN LATE THIS YEAR,
THE FOOD HALL TO FOLLOW, PHASE
ONE COMING INTO PLAY, HIGH

26
00:03:16.396 --> 00:03:26.272
ALPHA, THE VENTURE STUDIO
ALREADY STARTED MOVING IN, I
TALKED WITH SCOTT DORSEY GOT A
TOUR. TALK ABOUT THE OVERALL

27
00:03:26.272 --> 00:03:35.648
PROBABLE, UP AND RUNNING AND
REALLY FOR PHASE ONE TO HAPPEN
IN THE MIDST OF THE PANDEMIC,
THAT HAS TO HAVE BEEN A REAL

28
00:03:35.648 --> 00:03:41.588
CHALLENGE.
>> SURE. IT CERTAINLY HAS BEEN A
CHALLENGE AS FAR AS TIMELINE IS
CONCERNED, I THINK WE'RE IN A

29
00:03:41.588 --> 00:03:50.396
VERY LUCKY POSITION, HOWEVER, I
THINK OF IT REALLY MORE AS A
BENEFIT TO US. I THINK, YOU
KNOW, AS WE ARE HERE, MORE THAN

30
00:03:50.396 --> 00:03:58.271
6 MONTHS INTO THIS EXPERIENCE
THAT WE'RE ALL ENDURING, I THINK
NO INDUSTRY HAS BEEN HIT QUITE
AS HARD AS THE HOSPITALITY

31
00:03:58.271 --> 00:04:06.713
INDUSTRY. AND WE'VE BEEN VERY
LUCKY THAT OUR COLLEAGUES IN
THIS INDUSTRY AND, YOU KNOW, OUR
PARTNERS IN THIS COMMUNITY AS

32
00:04:06.713 --> 00:04:12.285
FAR AS FOOD AND BEVERAGE AND
HOSPITALITY AND HOTELS ARE
CONCERNED, WE REALLY HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO LEARN FROM OUR

33
00:04:12.285 --> 00:04:18.424
COLLEAGUES ON WHAT'S REALLY,
REALLY WORKED, WHAT'S REALLY,
REALLY NOT. AND REALLY WHAT
GUESTS AND CUSTOMERS ARE GOING

34
00:04:18.424 --> 00:04:27.934
TO BE LOOKED FOR AND EXPECTING
FROM US ONCE OUR DOORS OPEN.
>> YES, HAS IT BEEN HELPFUL, A
SISTER HOTEL IS THE IRON WORKS

35
00:04:27.934 --> 00:04:34.607
ON THE NORTH SIDE. BEEN ABLE TO
LEARN SOME THINGS FROM THE
OPERATIONS THAT IRON WORKS, AS
YOU GET INTO THIS?

36
00:04:34.607 --> 00:04:43.883
>> WITHOUT QUESTION. I THINK
THEY ARE REALLY, YOU KNOW,
PAVING THE PATH FOR US TO REALLY
HAVE A SUCCESSFUL OPENING, AND

37
00:04:43.883 --> 00:04:56.829
TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR IS ARE
DOTTED AND T'S CROSSED WHEN IT
COMES TO VISITOR SAFETY. NOT TO
MENTION, WE HAVE QUITE A FEW

38
00:04:56.829 --> 00:05:06.773
BEVERAGE OUTLETS IN OUR BELOIT
LOCATION, MAKING SURE THAT WE
UNDERSTAND WHAT LIES AHEAD OF US
ONCE WE OPEN OUR DOORS.

39
00:05:06.773 --> 00:05:11.811
ABSOLUTELY WE'RE ABLE TO LEARN
SO MUCH FROM THEM.
>> A MAJOR PROJECT, TALKED ABOUT
FOR A LONG TIME, ACTUALLY COMING

40
00:05:11.811 --> 00:05:16.582
TO LIFE, WE'LL SEE SOME OPENINGS
BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. AMY
