Planting something in this rocky Lake of the Ozarks soil usually requires a pickaxe and a lot of patience. But entrepreneurs like Jed Mathany and his wife, Jackie, often see the forest and the trees and are still willing to take risks most of us are not.
Mathany of Mathany Family Vineyards is moving through the processes of gaining approval of a multi-component winery in the City of Lake Ozark. He received the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission in early December and the board of aldermen a week later to operate a winery in a C-2 (General Commercial) district just off Bagnell Dam Blvd. Another agreement involving the transfer of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) rights from property owner LPS One, LLC., was authorized just this week.
