Work began on Friday clearing trees from the Stone Brewing site on Williamsburg Road.
The brewery will be located on a 12 1/2 acre parcel across Williamsburg Avenue from Gillies Creek Park, down from Chimborazo Park and near Rocketts Landing.
According to earlier article in the RTD, Stone expects that the facility will cost upwards of $20 million; HamptonRoads.com says the development will bring 350 jobs. The project is also expected to include a restaurant and retail space, in addition to the industrial brewing operation.

.@chpn There was a tent (clearly currently occupied) in the far end of that wooded area. I wonder where he/she has relocated to.

.@chpn Here it is. Stumbled across it a while ago. Shocked me as it wasn’t visible from Nicholson. http://t.co/bOAWYpUvcb
I was just wondering about that too.

Hope they got it relocated before the tree clearing went on, if it was still occupied through the winter. Was it as big as it looks in the photo?

A local company is salvaging wood from the site for use in local projects.
