Land deal brewing near site of previous beer hall brouhaha in York

While no specific project is attached to the land acquisition yet, the move signals the county’s continued commitment to redeveloping this stretch of Route 17. The parcels are located just down from The Kitchen by Virginia Beer Company, which opened in February 2026 in a building the EDA originally acquired and sold to a developer to build a brewery. That project faced delays when the owners had to step away, ultimately leading Virginia Beer Company to lease the space from them instead.
