Ok, so here is my over arching question: Should you start "top down" applying for Federal DSP through TTB first then go to state and local? Or should you start at the bottom, start local then go up to state and federal?
The reason I ask is: I have reached out to the TTB to discuss the location I would like to apply for DSP and they have said it would be a "case by case basis" for approval. I am looking to use a barn structure on a farm property... So my thought is submit the application to the TTB and get a true evaluation of the feasibility of the space being approved for a DSP then go through the local and state stuff that would likely cost more money. By starting "top down" I could get a go/no-go decision on this specific space without a significant monetary investment which would allow me to pivot if the TTB says we can't use this space.
Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks for your thoughts and insight!!!
