The Grand Rapids Press reported last week that Locus Development and Jason Spaulding, co-founder of New Holland Brewing Company, have partnered on a $3 million project that will bring a new brewery and shops to the vibrant Cherry street business district.
Brewery Vivant is planned to open next fall in the space that most recently was home to the Spectrum Health childcare center. The adjacent chapel was once a funeral home.

The brewery will have a 140-seat taproom and restaurant in the chapel portion of the building. There will also be a partially covered outdoor beer garden and piazza.
This is great news for the ever-expanding East Hills neighborhood -which is fast becoming a destination for unique restaurants and boutique shops.
