Something's brewing in downtown MountProspect, as long-awaited brew pub approved
Robert Salerno, the owner of Salerno's Pizzeria & Eatery on Kensington Road in Mount Prospect, plans to move the eatery to Prospect Place and bring with it a Whiskey Hill Brewing Co.
Now under construction, Prospect Place is planned as a mixed-use, five-story building with 80 apartments above 10,000 square feet of commercial space. "Whiskey Hill would have a fully operational brewery on site, which is something that has been a priority of the village for many years to get into the downtown," Mount Prospect Community Development Director Bill Cooney said.

It also would have about 35 employees, with an annual payroll of $1 million.Salerno said he opened a Whiskey Hill Brewing Co. in West suburban Westmont four years ago. The name reflects the town's Prohibition history, he said.
