The semi- vacant breweries, in addition to land abutting Gravois seem to be the biggest issues for BP moving ahead. I also think some of the small CMU-constructed car shops, and the vacant 7-11 on Jefferson Ave would be perfect for wine bars or cafe spaces with outdoor patios. 

From Pres Board agenda - 2 new houses coming to BP
