Restoration and renovation work kicked off May 12 at the former South 
Peer Antique Mall & Flea Market building in the heart of downtown 
Springfield.

That same day, the Missouri Department of Economic Development announced 
it has approved $228,736 in remediation tax credits for the project 
through the Brownfield Redevelopment Program.

a DED news release, and is contaminated with lead-based paint and asbestos.

After South Peer closed last July, four investors behind South Pier LLC 
– Jerry and Bo Hagerman, Jason Harris and Keith Acuff – bought the

according to Bo Hagerman, of Hagerman New Urbanism.
