RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A major brewery is set for a $60 million expansion in Rockingham County.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced last week that MillerCoors will spend the money expanding its Shenandoah brewery, which serves markets in the Northeast.
MillerCoors will receive a $500,000 grant and be eligible for other incentives for the expansion, which should add 27 new jobs.
McAuliffe has been active in recruiting brewers to Virginia, particularly craft beers. MillerCoors is a joint venture between SABMiller and Molson Coors Brewing Company, and produces beers such as Coors Light, Miller Lite, and Miller High Life.
