Operators of the craft brewery, which opened in northwest Atlanta in 2012, joined Mayor Kasim Reed and City Councilwoman Cleta Winslow on Tuesday to break ground for a new manufacturing facility on Lee Street.
The groundbreaking comes as the West End, one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods, has created a Community Improvement District in hopes of revitalizing the area. A CID increasing property taxes for member merchants and uses the extra income to improve roads, hire off duty or retired police officers to patrol streets and to develop greenspace.
