James City County is getting its first craft brewery, Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s office announced Thursday.
Billsburg Brewery will invest $1.4 million to open in the county. The project is expected to create 9 jobs.
McAuliffe approved a $100,000 grant from the Virginia Tourism Growth Fund (VTGF) to assist with the project. The funds will be used for infrastructure improvements and tourism assets at the brewery, which will have views of the James City County Marina.
