A $1 million state grant has been secured to help a Jersey Shore-area business become one of the state leaders in the nation’s craft beer industry, a state lawmaker and its co-founder said.
Bald Birds Brewing Co. is a recipient of the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant, according to state Sen. Gene Yaw, R-Loyalsock Township, who advocated for the grant from the state Office of Budget of Gov. Tom Wolf.
The funding will help the facility, located in Porter Township, transition to a 153,000-square-foot brewery and events center, Yaw said.
At the core of the project is a state-of-the-art manufacturing, product-packaging and shipping enterprise.
