The High Point City Council approved $75,000 in incentives for a new cocktail bar in its hospitality and entertainment district.

The new business is planned for Church Avenue near Truist Point Stadium, and the money is coming from the city’s Economic Development Incentive Fund.

The Mason Jar Group says the bar will create 22 full-time positions within two years.

The company has also pledged a $625,000 investment in the property.

High Point officials say the group also considered Winston-Salem, Lexington and Greensboro among the sites for the project.

The Mason Jar Group is based in North Carolina with locations across the state, including three in High Point.
