Project Description

In November 2015, CDF provided $5.5 million in New Markets Tax Credit financing to Great Central Brewing Company, a startup contract brewing business dedicated to helping small Chicago-based brewers strategically grow and expand production. CDF financing supported land acquisition, site preparation, and construction of a new 33,000 sq. ft. industrial facility at 221 N. Wood Street in the Kinzie Industrial Corridor on the Near West Side.
