The Decorah City Council approved a new, larger building for Toppling Goliath Brewery Co.

The council voted on the project at Monday's meeting.

The project includes developing a new brewery, warehouse and tap room. It is slated to be in the city's business park on the east edge of Decorah. It would create up to nine new jobs.

The proposed facility would be approximately 52,140 square feet with a mezzanine level for storage and warehouse space of 11,164 feet.

Owners Clark and Barb Lewey asked for and received a tax abatement package from the city council in August of 2015. At the time, the proposal was for a 20,000 square foot facility at a cost of $5 million. The abatement schedule applied for and granted includes a five-year sliding scale abatement of property taxes at 80%, 70%, 60%, 50% and 40% for a total property tax abatement projected at $503,000.
