The Mobile City Council has opted to delay for three weeks a vote on an ordinance to better define and expand the city’s Central Business District, a move intended to provide more redevelopment opportunities outside of downtown.

The Gayfers building in downtown Mobile has sat abandoned since the department store left it in 1985. Plans are in the works to revitalize the building through historic tax credits, and to repurpose it into residential housing. The building was long a popular shopping destination for Mobile area residents. .One Mobile city councilman is hoping to bring more economic revitalization to Mobile, using an old policy tool.

If the ordinance is passed, the Central Business District would be bounded by Interstate 65 on the west side, Interstate 10 on the south side, Interstate 165 and Bay Bridge Road on the north side and the Mobile River on the east side. The exact boundaries of the previous Central Business District are not clear but are generally considered to be Broad Street, Beauregard Street, Water Street and Canal Street.
