The latest episode of WKTV Journal In Focus offers the owner and brewer at Grand Rapids’ Brewery Vivant discussing plans to expand the brand into Kentwood and also about the state of craft brewing locally and regionally. Then we continue our explorations of the many aspects of legal and illegal immigration, this time with an attorney focused on immigration and foreign worker programs. Both our guests, and their topics of discussion, were brought to WKTV by community advocate Emily Bridson.
First up, In Focus is Jason Spaulding, owner and brewer at Brewery Vivant. The original craft brewery and pub is located in the Easthills neighborhood. Brewery Vivant distributes their products throughout Michigan and the greater Chicago area. We have Spaulding on, in part, because of plans to open a pub and brewery in Kentwood, but we will also talk with him about the state of the “business” of craft brewing locally and regionally.
Then In Focus is Lee Marvin, an attorney at Marvin Law Office. He has served in this role for the past 7 years and specializes in immigration, family law and small business advising. We will talk with him about the legal issues surrounding immigration and foreign worker programs. For a link to his interview video, click here .
