Elwood Ave., and two sites at the future Peoria-Mohawk Business Park at 1400 and 1828 E. 36th St. North. One of the remaining undeveloped sites, 2103 N. MLK Blvd., was later determined not to be a brownfield. The remaining sites in the top nine include 1047 E. Apache St., Apache Circle – 533 E. Apache St., and 3519 N. Hartford Ave.
