Sawall said that before the pandemic, many businesses, such as hair and nail salons, expressed interest in the space. He plans to have activities in the beer garden, including games such as the German game of hammerschlagen, in which people attempt to hammer a nail into a stump, and bag tosses, he said. Hastings said that besides beer, the plan is for the beer garden to feature an outdoor station for making s'mores, as well as a 300-inch television screen, a music stage and a couple of outside fireplaces. The original plan was for these eateries, coffee shop and beer garden to open in May 2020. Because of the pandemic, the plan was postponed until this May. But now - again because of COVID-19 - Hastings said he has had to postpone it once again. He added that he plans to open the 1,300-square-foot pizza, gelato and coffee shop, adjacent to the Mexican restaurant, after Labor Day. Owner Chaz Hastings said he is considering opening the 3,000-square-foot Mexican restaurant, Tekila, and the 3,000-square-foot beer garden in mid-August. Sawall, president of Sussex-based Sawall Development, predicts that once the project's Mexican restaurant and beer garden open, new businesses will follow. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the retail units remain vacant, said developer Arthur Sawall. The plan called for 18,000 square feet of retail space and 40 apartment units next to the Piggly Wiggly at Silver Spring Drive and Main Street. When the Susssex Village Board approved a three-story mixed-use development in September 2019, the goal was to fill it with businesses to help support the downtown.
