A spokesperson for the company confirmed this week that Mike and Brian McMenamin -- owners and operators of more than a few dozen brewpubs in Oregon and Washington as well as several historic hotel properties -- are in preliminary discussions regarding the property and recently took their second walkthrough of the barracks, the oldest military post in the Northwest.
Last fall, the 16-building western portion of the compound was transferred from the U.S. Army to the City of Vancouver. E.D. Hovee & Co., a Vancouver market feasibility company, is now studying possible uses for the site with Portland design firm SERA Architects.
A final plan for an estimated $40-million renovation of the property is scheduled to be up for City Council review sometime next year. The renovation, and the funds to accomplish it, will be a joint venture of Vancouver, the state, the National Park Service, the U.S. Army and the nonprofit Vancouver National Historic Reserve Trust.
To date, about $12 million has been committed, including $6 million of an expected $10 million in federal funding, and another $6 million from Vancouver for improving water and sewer services to the property.
