STAFF REPORT
TO: Local Option Review Team
FROM: Lottie Mitchell, Plan Administrator
DATE: January 28, 2021
SUBJECT: Amendment to Gesell Enterprises, LLC DBA 505 Brewing, LLC Local Option
Economic Development Loan
Recommendation: Consider request from Gesell Enterprises, LLC DBA 505 Brewing
Company, LLC to amend their Local Option Economic Development Loan.
Background: The City of Fremont has a Local Option Economic Development (LB840) Plan
(the Plan) and loan fund for the purposes of creating new jobs, expanding the labor market,
retaining existing jobs, attracting new capital investment, broadening the tax base, and
providing economic diversification to ensure economic stability and vitality for the City of
Fremont and surrounding areas.
Applications are submitted to the plan administrator (City of Fremont) for review. Once the
plan administrator has reviewed and determined the application is eligible for LB840 funds,
the application is reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Review Committee (CARC) and the Local
Option Review Team (LORT).
The CARC reviews the application from the standpoint of compliance with the Plan. The
LORT reviews the application from the standpoint of project feasibility and the potential future
economic benefit to the community of Fremont. Both committees make recommendations to
the City Council. The City Council will then consider the overall benefits to the community and
will have final authority on approval of the application.
Gesell Enterprises, LLC, DBA 505 Brewing Company, LLC (505 Brewing Company), is a start-
up microbrewery that came before the committees and City Council in November 2019 with
plans of renovating the basement level of the 505 Building located at 505 N Main Street. They
were originally awarded $165,000 at 100% forgiveness for the renovation of the basement
space and the creation of five full-time positions within two years of their LB840 award.
The renovation of the 505 Building has been delayed. While 505 Brewing Company still
aspires to renovate the basement level of the 505 Building someday, they are anxious to open
their brewery here in Fremont, NE. In an effort to move forward and get their company off the
ground they have secured a lease agreement at 349 N Main Street.
Therefore, 505 Brewing Company is requesting an amendment to their LB840 loan agreement
to add the location of 349 N Main Street. They would still be required to create five full time
equivalent positions. The amendment would allow them to utilize their LB840 award at both
locations and assist them in getting their business started and meet their employment
requirements.
Gesell Enterprises, LLC, DBA 505 Brewing Company is an eligible business under Fremont’s
Local Option Economic Development Plan in that their principal source of income is derived
Page 5 of 15 Agenda Item #4
manufacturing articles of commerce.
Staff recommends amending the original LB840 award that was executed in December 2019
by adding 349 N MainStreet, in addition to 505 N Main Street, as an eligible location to utilize
the LB840 award and employ eligible jobs towards the job creation requirement. The original
job creation schedule remains unchanged:
One (1) full-time equivalent job in the first two years (December 2021)
One (1) additional full-time equivalent job in its company in Fremont, Nebraska by the
third year (December 2022)
Three (3) additional full-time equivalent jobs in its company in Fremont, Nebraska by the
fourth year (December 2023)
All jobs are required to be retained for a period of five (5) years from the date of creation.
Fiscal Impact: Local Option Economic Development Fund – No additional impact.

Five.0.Five Brewing Company
Owners – Shawn Morrow and Tim Gesell
Five.0.Five Brewing Company is a start-up microbrewery focusing on downtown Fremont, NE,
as its home. We have a passion for great beer and seeing downtown markets flourish. Our
vision is to be Fremont’s brand, Nebraska’s brewery. Our mission is to build off of the German
beer purity law of water, malt, hops and yeast while adding three more critical ingredients: Art,
passion, and community. Fremont is the ideal location for our vision.
We are partnering with a Lincoln, NE based brewing equipment manufacturer. This will bring
the best equipment in the area to our brewery. This will allow us to offer the best in quality
products. The byproduct and benefit of the brewing process is our grain can be given to local
farmers for their livestock.
Our products will be our core brews, specialty/seasonal brews, guest taps from local breweries,
Nebraska spirits, and wine. Our non-alcoholic offerings will be our own root beer and cream
soda. We plan to offer food through partnerships with local restaurants in Fremont and area food
trucks.
Our plan in year one is to target local marketing and growth in our tap house along with local
establishments. We want to build our brand in Fremont and engage the community to make our
brewery theirs. In year two we plan on installing a canning line and branch out to distribution all
around the state of Nebraska. The sky is the limit from there.
Our original agreement was signed on December 9, 2019. At this time, our brewery was to be
located at 505 N. Main Street in Fremont. Our request is to amend our contract to add 349 N.
Main Street in Fremont as a location for our brewery. This request is due to the delay in
renovation to the 505 N. Main Street location. There may be an option of having our main
taproom bar in the 505 N. Main Street location in the future when the renovation is complete, but
at this time we are requesting this add so we can move forward in the alternate location.
The change to 349 N. Main Street location will not change our original business plan presented
in November of 2019. It will just start it in a different location and allow us to serve the city of
Fremont sooner. This new plan would have the brewery opening in late spring/early summer.
Another benefit of the new location is that it is better suited for production than the 505 N. Main
Street location. This will allow us to accelerate our business plan in distribution.
Thank you very much for considering the amendment to our contract. We are committed to
downtown Fremont and are very excited to be a part of the exciting growth for the future.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Local Option Review Team
FROM: Lottie Mitchell, Plan Administrator
DATE: January 28, 2021
SUBJECT: Local Option Economic Development Application from 505 Main Street Group,
LLC for renovation of 505 Main Street.
Recommendation: Consider request from 505 Main Street Group, LLC for Local Option
Economic Development Loan.
Background: The City of Fremont has a Local Option Economic Development (LB840) Plan
(the Plan) and loan fund for the purposes of creating new jobs, expanding the labor market,
retaining existing jobs, attracting new capital investment, broadening the tax base, and
providing economic diversification to ensure economic stability and vitality for the City of
Fremont and surrounding areas.
Applications are submitted to the plan administrator (City of Fremont) for review. Once the
plan administrator has reviewed and determined the application is eligible for LB840 funds,
the application is reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Review Committee (CARC) and the Local
Option Review Team (LORT).
The CARC reviews the application from the standpoint of compliance with the Plan. The
LORT reviews the application from the standpoint of project feasibility and the potential future
economic benefit to the community of Fremont. Both committees make recommendations to
the City Council. The City Council will then consider the overall benefits to the community and
will have final authority on approval of the application.
505 Main Street Group, LLC, the owners of the 505 Building at 505 North Main Street, are
ready to begin renovation of the 505 Building. The project will consist of a mix of 28 studio
and one-bedroom apartments on the upper floors. The first floor will be renovated for
commercial use and the basement is planned as a brewery. Their application for LB840
funding is to assist with the renovation costs of the apartments. 505 Main Street Group, LLC
is an eligible business as they derive their principal source of income from the rehabilitation of
housing.
The 2012 Fremont Downtown Revitalization Plan lists the 505 Building as a high priority
catalyst project as part of revitalizing Fremont’s Historic Downtown District. The cost to
renovate the apartments at the 505 Building is $7,563,540. Construction is scheduled to
begin as early as April 2021 and is estimated to last approximately 12 months.
The 505 Main Street Group has secured traditional financing, Federal and State Historic Tax
Credits, and pledged their own cash, but a gap still remains. They are requesting
consideration of a $465,000 – 100% forgivable LB840 award. Staff recommends the full
requested amount paid out in three equal tranches of $155,000.
Page 8 of 15 Agenda Item #5
The first tranche would be paid upon proof that construction has begun (submission of
construction draws). The second and third tranches would be paid annually thereafter.
If renovation begins on the 505 Building in April, 2021, we would anticipate the earliest
construction draw to be received in May, 2021. The LB840 fund balance is currently
$916,856.21 and generates between $65,000-$90,000 monthly. It is projected that the fund will
have a balance of $1,254,932 by May 2021.
Fiscal Impact: Local Option Economic Development Fund – $465,000.00.

development experience in both housing and historic rehabs with an total development cost of
over $150 million.
%ULHI'HVFULSWLRQRIWKHSURSRVHGSURMHFW+DVDQ\SDUWRIWKLVSURMHFWEHHQVWDUWHG"
The plans have been completed to renovate the 505 building into a mixed use that includes 28
apartments which would be a mix of studios and 1 beds. We plan to renovate the 1st floor for
commercial uses and the basement into a brewery. During the past 12 months there have been
many challenges to getting this project moving forward including COVID, construction cost and
historic tax credits losing value.

Description of impact of project on Applicant and Community:
The City had a downtown study completed and the 505 building was called "catalyst" to the
revitalization of Historic Downtown. We believe our proposed use is the highest and best use
for the building and the downtown area.
