The Issue

Quincy Square is a special place to me and many others in Bremerton—a vibrant community that brings people together. It was envisioned as a bustling hub of activity, with the iconic Building at 260 4th Street playing a crucial role. This building is owned by the Bremerton Firefighters Union #437, and as it stands empty, it represents both a missed opportunity and a beacon of potential.

One of the most exciting prospects for this building is the establishment of a craft brewery. Craft breweries have served as pivotal community centers across many towns and cities, offering a space for socialization, culture, and economic growth. They frequently transform desolate areas into lively social hubs that attract locals and tourists alike, boosting local businesses.

Cities similar to Bremerton, like Tacoma and Eugene, have successfully utilized craft breweries to invigorate their communities, creating jobs and supporting regional agriculture through local sourcing.

The brewery interested in the 260 Building is poised to bring similar success to Quincy Square, drawing foot traffic that can bolster nearby shops and eateries. Craft breweries typically offer an inviting atmosphere for all ages, often hosting community events, local artist showcases, and supporting various local causes.

Furthermore, the demand for craft beer has surged in Washington State, which is home to over 400 breweries. It's a state known for its quality hops and innovative brews, underscoring the potential success and community benefit of introducing a craft brewery at Quincy Square.

The vision for Quincy Square was to create a significant landmark for Bremerton. Providing a lease to this promising brewery aligns with that mission. The Bremerton Firefighters Union #437 has the power to make this vision a reality, transforming 260 4th Street into a cornerstone of community engagement and enjoyment.

I urge the union to consider the immense possibilities a craft brewery can bring. Happiness, financial growth, and community spirit are just waiting on the other side of this decision. Please join me in asking the Bremerton Firefighters Union #437 to take decisive action and offer a lease to this potential brewery. Let's cultivate a thriving future for Quincy Square.

Sign this petition to support a flourishing community landmark and ensure the continued growth and vitality of Quincy Square in Bremerton.
