Brewery

Land Use

The property previously consisted of 9 buildings of which 4 are still partially standing today. There are 30' cellars located on the property, as well as a smokestack. The brewery closed in 1987 and since then, the property has fallen into significant neglect and disuses: partially looted and unsecured, open to trespassers, and a great nuisance to the adjacent operational businesses. The site is not only of great community concern to business and their employees, but also to the non-profit organization which has broken ground on a new homeless shelter, located only 270 feet from the project site. Located on another side of the site is a vacant jail.

Infrastructure

The site is 370 feet away from highway access and 445 feet away from the nearest railroad ties.
