ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - Gov. Terry McAuliffe is set to make a major economic development announcement in Roanoke.

The Democrat will make the announcement Tuesday afternoon at Charter Hall in the Roanoke City Market Building.

While McAuliffe's office refused to provide more details about the event, The Roanoke Times reports that Roanoke has been competing to be the location where for Oregon brewery to open an East Coast production facility.

Deschutes Brewery is also considering Asheville, North Carolina, for a production craft brewery and a pub. The East Coast brewery would employ about 100 people.
