A proposal to revive a shuttered hospital on Delmar Boulevard in St. Louis has been awarded $2.25 million in state tax credits.

Thursday, the Missouri Development Finance Board signed off on the money, which will help pay for the $68.2 million transformation of the former St. Luke’s Hospital into apartments, office space for nonprofit groups and retail.

The vote by the board was unanimous.

In addition to the hospital project, the board also approved state financial aid to two projects in Boone County — an organic dairy and a warehouse and office for American Outdoor Brands, which manufactures firearms and outdoor recreational equipment.

The project known as Delmar Divine is being spearheaded by former Build-A-Bear Workshop CEO Maxine Clark and a subsidiary of Chicago-based Clayco. It aims to convert 177,000 square feet of the hospital into office space, while carving out another 143,000 feet into 150 apartments.
