As the Munroe Industrial Park continues to develop and take shape, the area will have a little more diversity, as a different kind of business has purchased a lot in the park.

While the park has been filling up, mostly with companies in the agriculture and energy sector, the city was proud to announce a local microbrewery will be building their home-base in the area.

"I brought the report to council, which was approved for a local company starting up what's called Blackbridge Brewery Limited," said Business Development Director for the City of Swift Current, Marty Salberg, "the owners felt it was an ideal location for what they want to do, it allows trucks to get in and take product out, and bring in raw material, the owners have a lot of experience, so I'm sure they're going to be very successful in Swift Current."

Salberg added the owners are no strangers to the area.

"It's a new company in Swift Current, started by local Swift Current people that have lived here for many years, so they've got all their experience in the brewing industry, and they've decided they're going to move that forward and build a shop, so it's very exciting."

He also noted, no word on how many jobs it will create, but he did know the owners are interested in getting their business moving forward as soon as possible, and expects to see construction begin this fall.
