                    "Bruce Simpson, owner of Silver Leaf Construction and partner with Old Growth Holdings, points out on Friday changes planned for the historic building at 209 E. Main St. in downtown West Point. Old Growth Holdings is renovating the building, along with three others on the strip, with plans to move tenants in by next year. Emma McRae/Dispatch Staff\t\n\t\t\tHaving grown up in West Point, Bruce Simpson was tired of driving down Main Street to see door after door of downtown buildings closed.\nNow Old Growth Holdings, a company Simpson founded with two other local partners, is renovating a strip of downtown buildings with hopes that new tenants could at least be a start to reversing the trend.\nAiming to do more than simply fill empty storefronts, Simpson hopes the project can spur other citizens to invest in downtown properties.\n\u201cWhen you drive through town, every door is shutting every other year,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cIt just needed to have somebody just take it by the reins and just show them what can happen when you invest in it and select good tenants rather than just people that want a storage building or something.\u201d\nThe four buildings on East Main Street \u2013 each built between 1885 and 1890 \u2013 have had various tenants over the years, Simpson said, though most recently two were owned by a company called Nu Look, one sat vacant and the fourth was an appliance store. That building, originally opened as an opera house, reopened seven months ago as Mockingbird Lane Antique Market after Old Growth Holdings renovated the property.\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tPictured are the four East Main Street buildings purchased by Old Growth Holdings in hopes of spurring more downtown development in West Point. Partner Bruce Simpson said the three vacant buildings are set to house a tanning company, gym and wellness company by the start of next year. Emma McRae/Dispatch Staff\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\nSimpson, who also owns Silver Leaf Construction, said renovations for the other three buildings include upgrading the roofs, plumbing and electrical systems while restoring the original hardwood floors and walls. There will be some slight exterior work, but it will remain true to the historical facades, he said.\n\u201cAll those buildings are kind of in disrepair because \u2026 all the old owners, they didn\u2019t want to invest in it,\u201d Simpson said. \u201c\u2026 We\u2019re trying to bring them back to keep the history alive of all the buildings.\u201d\nSimpson said there are already three tenants lined up for the buildings, including a tanning company, a gym and a health and wellness retailer. He intends for all of the work \u2013 estimated to be a $750,000 investment \u2013 to be finished and tenants moved in by January 2027.\n\u201cWe have big plans for this town because we believe it\u2019s going to grow,\u201d Simpson said. \u201cWe want to invest in the future.\u201d\nSimpson said he also hopes the venture inspires other citizens to invest in downtown West Point. That\u2019s a sentiment shared by Ray Hamilton, owner of Anthony\u2019s Market.\nJust up East Main Street, Hamilton is working with Arkansas-based Flyway Brewing to open a location in the historic Justice Company Building, just across the street from Anthony\u2019s. The roughly 9,000 square-foot space will include both a brewery and a restaurant. There will also be a kid-friendly outdoor space, he said.\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tThe old Justice Company Building is pictured on East Main Street in West Point. Expected to open in January, the building is being renovated to house Flyway Brewing, which will be a roughly 9,000 square-foot microbrewery and restaurant. Emma McRae/Dispatch Staff\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had construction going for a while, basically clearing the building out, stripping it down to its original floors and walling, and so now we\u2019re about to start putting up actual walls and equipment and things like that,\u201d Hamilton told The Dispatch on Friday. \u201cWe\u2019re thinking Jan. 15 is probably going to be the opening day.\u201d\nHamilton hopes the microbrewery will help drive more traffic downtown, particularly from drivers passing through Highway 45 Alternate. Adding other attractions, he said, like boutiques and more kid-friendly spaces, will help bring even more consumers to the area.\n\u201c(West Point) is beautiful,\u201d Hamilton said. \u201cIt\u2019s got a strong soul to it, and I think it has all the potential in the world. We\u2019ve just got to work together and provide these opportunities to showcase what we can do.\u201d\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMcRae is a general assignment and education reporter for The Dispatch.\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n      \n      \n        Quality, in-depth journalism is essential to a healthy community.
