Summary - To recapture and market about 8.52
acres at the former Falstaff Brewery.
Background - The Falstaff Brewery closed in
the early 1990's. The property has deteriorated and is
now a major blighting influence on residential, commercial
and industrial neighbors. The site has five
inter-connected industrial buildings. Two buildings on
the site's east section are in the best condition and re-
~ __ .::r present opportunity for reuse and redevelopment. The
buildings on the site's west section are severely deteriorated,
and are likely demolition candidates. An
=OI!];:'l.\.i:Il!O.· ·. " . , __ -. adjacent office building and parking lot on the western
(Photo by CED staff) boundary also represent redevelopment potential.
To facilitate re-use of the former Falstaff site,
the Commission created a Redevelopment Area and
confirmed by resolution a redevelopment plan in 1998.
Status - The Redevelopment Commission had
the property appraised in early 1999, and submitted a
condemnation offer to Falstaff Brewing Corp. in March.
The acquisition price is to be $263,000, subject to
environmental compliance.
A Phase I environmental site assessment was
completed in April at a cost of $2,200. Two environmental
concerns were noted. One was the presence of
underground storage tanks outside the buildings. Exterior, former Falstaff Brewery. (Photo by CED staff)
Deteriorated Falstaff interior. (Photo by CED staff)
The underground tanks were formerly used for
fuel oil storage. The other key concern was for the
hydraulic oil lifts inside the building complex.
A Phase n environmental investigation was
completed in August for $7,000. Soil samplings were
, conducted to assess subsurface soil contamination. The
. extent of needed remediation will depend on the
property's fmal use. An EPA Pilot Grant provided
funding for the Phase I and Phase II investigations.
Staff members expect to settle the acquisition
price with the owner, address environmental issues, and
market the real estate for development in the year 2000.
