Two different projects involving Egg Harbor breweries will be open for you to discuss at plan commission meetings in the coming days.
On October 12th, the plan commission will first weigh in on a Special Development District Relief Application for One Barrel Brewing Company’s taproom on Market Street. Peter Gentry and Double Barrel Co. LLC are looking to add parking for more of its patrons on top of what was previously proposed. A public hearing is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. at the Kress Pavilion’s Great Hall in person and on Zoom.
The next day on October 13th, the plan commission will meet once again about plans by the owners of Shipwrecked Brew Pub and Restaurant to add roughly 92 seats with an outdoor beer garden. The issue was taken up at a previous meeting that lasted nearly four hours before eventually being tabled. Businesses near the popular spot say the expansion could crunch Egg Harbor parking woes further, even with the Village Board raising its Fee in Lieu of Parking to $250 and capping the number of street spaces a business could claim at 30. The public hearing for that project is also scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Kress Pavilion’s Great Hall in person and on Zoom.
