A new brewpub may be coming to North Avenue and revitalize the building that was formerly occupied by the Grand Junction REI store.
The Grand Junction City Council cleared the way for the proposed business last week when it modified an ordinance to change the distance a brewpub can be located from a school from 500 feet to 450 feet. The building on the northwest corner of North Avenue and Seventh Street neighbors Grand Junction High School. In fact, the road just to the north of the property is Tiger Avenue, a nod to the schoolâs mascot.
Sandra Weckerly, who is purchasing the property, spoke at the City Council meeting and said servers will be checking photo IDs when selling alcohol. She also said she did not expect there to be a high volume of to-go retail sales.
The Grand Junction City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to approve wage increases for the city manager, city attorney and municipal judge.
In the cityâs 2021 budget it included a 2.5% wage increase for all city employees, which included those three positions. Mayor Pro Tem Kraig Andrews explained that they first had to complete performance reviews before that raise was implemented.
âThe wage increase for eligible employees was dependent on the employee being evaluated and being rated as performing at or above expectations,â Andrews said. âBecause we determined that each of these three employees is performing at or above expectations, with the approval of this ordinance, each will be awarded a 2.5% increase starting with pay period seven of this year.â

A flag with a prominent expletive displayed across from Orchard Mesas Middle School prompted questions from residents about whether that was allowed within the city of Grand Junction.
A resident in Orchard Mesa is displaying a flag with a four-letter-word in reference to the current President of the United States, but that is constitutionally protected speech, City Attorney John Shaver said.
Shaver said the city does not have an ordinance prohibiting certain words from being displayed on flags or signs within the city. He said, in a statement, that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 2015 case that content, based regulation of signage is impermissible.
