VanTrust Real Estate LLC intends to buy 156 acres in North Jacksonville for development of Imeson Park, a 3 million-squarefoot industrial center whose first building should be completed next fall. “We will start next month and will deliver the first building in September 2019,” said VanTrust Executive Vice President John

ith financing in order and a permit application filed, S t r i n gs S p o r ts Brewery is nearing construction in Springfield. Restaurateur Scott Adeeb’s vision for the former 9th and Main restaurant space at 1850 N.

A permit application filed July 26 details a $653,000 build-out with 4,764 square feet of indoor and 2,497 square feet of outdoor space. “Everything is going to be sports-themed,” he said. “We’re going to have a lot of interactive things for kids and families.” SEE STRINGS, PAGE 3
