Victoria Business Owners:
Enki Brewing Victoria MNThe City of Victoria has received a formal request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for warehousing and off-sale liquor sales (Microbrewery) by Enki Brewing in the Creamery building at 7929 Victoria Drive. The public hearing will be held on Tuesday, March 5th at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall by the Planning Commission.
Enki Brewing was founded last year by Victoria resident, John Hayes, and his business partner, Dan Norton. They plan to use the first floor of the building for a microbrewery and taproom.
They will not be serving food and the majority of the business will be through sales of kegs to restaurants/bars and growlers available for purchase in the taproom. The proposed hours of the taproom are Thursday-Saturday with hours of 3-10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and noon-10 p.m. on Saturdays. If you have questions regarding the business, please feel free to contact John Hayes Email or 952-446-5214.
The Victoria Business Owners Association is asking business owners to attend this meeting to show your support.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the conditional use permit, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Randy Miller

The city of Victoria wants you to know about this new service!

Beginning Wednesday, May 30 and continuing through August, SouthWest Transit will be offering express bus service from Waconia and Victoria to downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota. This service is designed to help alleviate some of the congestion and traffic backups that will occur as the Minnesota Department of Transportation works on Hwy 5 in Victoria for three months.

For more info on the construction project, visit www.VictoriaDetour.org.

The express weekday service provided by SouthWest Transit will have four morning routes traveling from the
Victoria Recreation Center to downtown Minneapolis. One route will continue on to the U of M. In the
afternoon there will be three routes taking passengers back to Victoria and Waconia.

A guaranteed ride home program will be offered to those riders that need to get home during the mid-day.
The first month of service on all of these special routes will be FREE. The costs will be paid for by the
Minnesota Department of Transportation, SouthWest Transit and Carver County.

Information is available at www.swtransit.org or by calling SouthWest Transit at 952-949-2BUS (2287).
