In the heart of Mathis, where the echoes of history meet the footsteps of progress, the Mathis Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is weaving a new chapter in the town’s storied tapestry with the revival of the Old Mathis Cotton Gin.
The Old Mathis Cotton Gin, once a cornerstone of the town’s agricultural past, is set for a transformation that symbolizes the innovative spirit of Mathis. The Mathis EDC, in a landmark move, has facilitated the conversion of this historic building into a bustling craft brewery. This initiative is not just about preserving a piece of history; it’s about fermenting a future of economic prosperity.
Named Labora Brewing Company, this new venture is poised to become a beacon of local craftsmanship and community pride. The brewery is the brainchild of local entrepreneurs who share a vision for creating premium craft beers that embody the spirit of Mathis. Beyond the craft of brewing, the establishment will serve as a social hub, a venue for events, and a testament to the potential of local industry.
The Mathis EDC’s role in this development highlights its commitment to fostering economic growth while maintaining the town’s unique cultural heritage. By investing in projects that revitalize historic structures and bring new business to the downtown area, the EDC is crafting a narrative of sustainable development.
The brewery is just one thread in the broader fabric of Mathis’ economic expansion. The Mathis EDC is dedicated to attracting diverse businesses to the region, promoting tourism, and supporting local entrepreneurs. Initiatives such as the Façade and Signage Improvement Grant Program and the Revolving Loan Program underscore this dedication. With a strategic location, significant traffic counts, and a supportive business environment, Mathis is well-positioned to draw a variety of commercial investments.
As Labora Brewing Company gears up for its grand opening, the excitement among Mathis residents is palpable. This enthusiasm extends beyond the brewery’s walls, as it represents a broader vision for Mathis—a vision where heritage harmonizes with progress, where local businesses thrive, and where the community comes together to celebrate growth and success.
Join us at the Mathis EDC as we toast to the past and pour into the future, fostering a community where business and culture prosper side by side.
