With Richland Rum planning to move out of downtown Brunswick and construct a new distillery on Highway 99 at I-95 exit 42, the Brunswick Golden Isles Development Authority (GIDA) is making plans for the building at 1404 and 1406 Newcastle St.

In June GIDA purchased Richland Rum’s downtown Brunswick Building for almost $1.8 million. GIDA purchased the building from its reserve funds and is leasing the building back to Richland Rum until their new facility is finished.

GIDA plans to move its offices, which are leased, from the current Gloucester St. space to the  mezzanine in the Richland Rum building.

GIDA is working with partners to lease the bottom floor to a tenant that will draw traffic to downtown Brunswick, Ryan Moore, GIDA President and CEO said.
