The possible arrival of the Cheshire Brewing Company comes right on the heels of the state’s economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, according to Sitko, will be a great economic investment for the town. He expressed his hope that residents will soon be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
