Former brewery to be heart of business zone

Beer, building and jobs. Mixing those three together, Baltimore County is ready to undergo what Jim Smith is calling a “business renaissance.”

At the old Carling brewery Wednesday, Wolseley?s North American Division, along with the Baltimore County Economic Development office, unveiled plans for the development of the property. Located amid other industrial business sites in Halethorpe and part of Baltimore County?s “Southwest Enterprise Zone,” the 21-acre property provides a prime location just off Interstates 695 and 895.
