Thanks, Government! Last week the state gave Brooklyn Brewery a grant for $800,000 to help their $6.5MM expansion through Williamsburg. They money will go towards converting 13,500 square feet of vacant distribution space into a fermentation facility, and upping their production from 8,000 to 50,000 barrels a year. Brooklyn Brewery Founder Steve Hindy tells the Post “Support like this is vital to growing manufacturing jobs in New York City. These funds will enable us to complete a six-fold capacity expansion, adding 15 full-time jobs with benefits, and further expanding the Brewery’s green initiatives.”

The NY Post reports that Governor Paterson "and legislative Democrats have secretly agreed on an $8 billion, two- year tax hike on individuals making more than $500,000 a year," based on sources, who also say the plan would end in 2010...when Paterson would run for re-election.
