Not only is this an unqualified statement, it is a moot and erroneous discussion. We have far worse problems like nitrates and sewage from multi-resident unit discharge. Please understand that to deny any entity the right to build or operate within the fawn borough limits on the basis of water usage would be grounds for a moratorium on any new water usage of any type. That means housing, schooling, public and private swimming pools, etc.... The pretense that Fawn Borough businesses and residents pull their water from a magic single reservoir is absurd and preposterous. We have provisions in the MPC and Fawn ordinance that deal with this topic (not deny usage) and at that, only under drought conditions are studies and restriction implemented. I also have Clearly (on record) stated that I would agree to truck in process water to ELIMINATE any impact to Fawns Water supply. Now, to continue to discuss this “water” topic one would have to question ones sanity.
With that said I have scrupulously examined and weighed the issues that concern many. I value like any other resident of a small town the qualities that define it as such and would never do anything that I thought for a second would bode ill for Fawn. I own a home in Fawn, my family does as well. We have taken an aging and fatigued industrial property (formally a saw mill) and through literally thousands of man hours and countless dollars turned it into a positive place for commerce that as a whole employs well over 15 people, increased surrounding property values (tax records can prove that) not to mention offers an array of business types. I only wish to add to that greatness. I have spent the last year and a half developing the countless aspects of a microbrewery and its impact and have solutions for those aspects. It is a legitimate profession like any other and deserves respect just the same. My intent for this venture is not entirely out of self interest, I work in an industry that has been sabotaged by one of the worst accounts of greed and irresponsibility in many many years. I brewed beer at home for leisure only to developed a knack and love for it. This artisinal passion has culminated into a potential solution for my current career challenges and how to provide for my wife and my potential families future. Which brings me to to my next point, instead of arguing whether the sky is blue or gray?, is beer good or bad? when will we as a society accept that personal responsibility will always supersede the guilty gratification of condemnation over something one may not understand or agree with. Once again I humbly ask for support not even specific to a business type but rather to a fair try under laws, both man made and bestowed, that govern us all, not subjective and malicious opinion. I appreciate everyone’s time and input and will leave it at that.
any pending legalities aside, I think that you have made a very convincing argument in your posts to support your position, and I wish you the best of luck in getting your operation going.
To be clear, you can’t get 40’s at Saubels....just saying
LOL.......... smarta*& ............
Wasn’t being smart, just making it clear, this is not like Florida and other states where you can buy beer and wine at every supermarket and convenience store EDIT: I guess you can at the one in Whiteford

O my.......*laughing inside* ........... I supposse that’s the problems with these forums bc you can misinterpret what ppl are saying ....... but it’s ok bc I like smarta**#s even if you weren’t trying to be one....... I honestly don’t know if they sell 40’s at Saubel’s or not I just go for the beer I like I really don’t shop around ( I was talking about the one in Whiteford) I was just making a generalized statement that the kids can get alcohol anywhere and are more likely to get it from somewhere that sells “cheap” alcohol vs a brewery.
Just to let everyone know, we had our hearing and got unanimous approval, so we now move to plans review an hopefully start construction within a few weeks.
Awesome, I can’t wait to come up to the new bar and get all liquored up and then tear thru town hootin’ and a hollerin’ and bring in the big city drugs and crime.
Nahh, I’m just kidding. In all seriousness, Congratulations, and we hope you have a fun and sucessful time with this venture.
