The Beloit (Wisconsin) Daily News expects to move into its new home during September in the city’s downtown business district, in facilities previously occupied by Turtle Creek Bookstore-Barnes & Noble.
The building currently occupied by the Beloit Daily News — for the past half a century — was not acquired when the newspaper was purchased by Adams Publishing Group in June 2019. The building continues to be owned by the Hagadone Corporation, which owned the Beloit Daily News since 1969.
“This move creates a situation that is positive for downtown Beloit in many ways,” General Manager Todd Colling said. “First, it leads to the redevelopment of a key Beloit property that had been vacated with the closing of the Turtle Creek Bookstore. Second, it’s a great location for the paper’s offices in a historic building at a key intersection downtown.
“And it also opens up an opportunity for significant redevelopment for the Hagadone property on south State Street,” Colling said. “There’s a lot of room there capable of accommodating any number of possible business interests.”
