Case: Blackhawk Hotel - New glory for classic American hotelFramtidens Företag
The Blackhawk Hotel, which once hosted guests such as Cary Grant and Richard Nixon, had fallen into disrepair during the 1990s and hit rock bottom in 2006 when parts of the eighth caught fire and several floors were damaged by water. The city took over operation in 2009 and decided on drastic measures – a restoration program for tens of millions of dollars. The restoration budget alone was estimated at more than 35 million. In 2013, the Hotel Blackhawk became a part of the Marriott chain of luxury hotels – the Marriott Autograph Collection.

Inchdairnie.
New Lowland Distillery
Ernie – Ernst J Scheiner, The Gateway to Distilleries at www.whisky-distilleries.net
A joint venture will build a £6.7m distillery in Scotland‘s first post-war new town Glenrothes in the heart of Fife. The partners
include the Indian premium drinks group Kyndal and the Perthshire distiller John Fergus & Co. Ltd.
Their plan is to build a malt distillery with a production capacity of 4 million litres per annum with a number of bonded
warehouses on a 6ha land adjacent to the Whitehill industrial estate. Members of the Glenrothes area Commitee agreed to the
construction in January 2013. A building application was received by the Fife Council in February 2013 and a planning approval
has been given in March 2013.
See:http://planning.fife.gov.uk/online/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=M2ZMO7HF0IF00
Distillation is planned to start in 2015: „Production will continue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 48 weeks a year.“
„Yes, the process will require a local water supply and electricity as well as heat. However, the heat supply may be provided
through anaerobic digestion from the residue from the plant. None of the resources are considered to be non-renewable or in
short supply.“ See Screening Checklist Fife
Council http://planning.fife.gov.uk/online/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=M01TGOHF01A00
Their intention is to produce whisky which is going mainly to export markets such as India, Africa and the Far East. The distillery
will be located just south of Fife airport.
„Scottish Enterprise and its international arm Scottish Development International have been working with the companies on
their development plans. The enterprise company is providing a £240,000 regional selective assistance grant while the Scottish
Government’s food processing, marketing and cooperation scheme has put up £1.6m in funding.“
„The news was hailed by Fife Council’s business, enterprise, economy and planning spokeswoman Lesley Laird, who said the
“fantastic” project would not only generate employment but would emphasise that “Fife means business”
See:www.constructionnow.co.uk
Fifteen new jobs will be created. There is no visitor centre planned.
Rumours have it that the distillery will be named Inchdairnie.
The present John Fergus & Co. managing director will be Ian Palmer who has worked with Glen Turner Distillery near Edinburgh.
