Over the recent year, Stone Brewery has been breaking ground on a new brewery and bistro in the Fulton neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. This is a project that will cost the city 23 million dollars, and has received a lot of scrutiny over the past year. The Richmond City Council, as well as the Richmond Economic Development Authority, exhibited different levels of power over each other, the citizens, existing businesses, and Stone Brewery. This research project examines the ways in which each party had power over another, as well as the types of power the different parties had.
