eMain Team Meeting
and Reports
eMain
Advisory Committee
Bellarmine's Center for eWorld Education is developing
a
program for the next term
that will be held through the business week. Seminars are scheduled to
begin in April. Dr. Michael Mattei has been appointed as the interim
executive director of the Center for eWorld Education. He is filling
the position of John Cranor, who will be out of the country until
July. Mattei is currently chairman of Bellarmineís business department
as well as an associate professor of information technology. He
will continue in those roles as he assumes the day to day operations
of the Center for eWorld Education.
Humana and the Board of Alderman met for the initial
signing for the renovation loan. Demolition has started on the Clock Tower Building; the construction
office is now located inside building. Bi-weekly pictures of the
construction will be posted to the eMain web site so that anyone
interested can follow the progress.
An update was given on a new
South Fourth Street entertainment district. Known as SoFo, the district
will be developed as a downtown entertainment destination to compliment
the existing East and West Main Street developments. Several recording
and music production companies that are interested in co-locating
in SoFo have already expressed interest.
eMainUSA will have a specially
designated area at the upcoming ComTech Trade Show and IT Symposium,
which is scheduled for February 21 and 22. The area will be set
up with park benches and lamp posts to give it a downtown streetscape
feel. Mayor David Armstrong and members of the eMain team will be
at the show at various times to answer questions about the project.
B3 Games (boards, bikes, blades) coming for Thunder
Grab your skateboards
and Roller-blades. For the third consecutive year, ESPN is bringing
its extreme games to Louisville. The B3 Games -- the hip abbreviation
for boards, bikes and blades -- will coincide with the Kentucky
Derby Festival's Thunder Over Louisville.
Drive to expand park gearing up
With much of the land in hand, a design in place and significant
public-sector money secured, officials are gearing up to raise $13.75
million from private sources for a 34-acre upriver expansion of
Waterfront Park in Louisville.

Falling
in love with Louisville
As
travel editor of The Orange County (Calif.) Register, Gary Warner's
domestic sojourns took him last year to some of the largest, finest
and most fashionable cities in America. His favorite? "I
love surprises, and the city on the Ohio River was something I didn't
expect," Warner wrote in a Best of 2000 column published Dec.
31.

Louisville Clock may run again
Students at the Speed
School of Engineering have taken a major step in restoring one of
Louisville's forgotten public treasures, which has been out of service
since 1993. The odd-looking mechanism being perfected here will
someday serve as the heart of the Louisville Clock, that massive
sculptured timepiece that once graced downtown.

River Road project gets finishing touches
Last year the state finished
widening River Road from Waterfront Park near I-65 to Beargrass
Creek. The state and federal governments spent about $4.3 million
for the four-lane road. The budget included $95,000 for new landscaping,
a project overseen by the Waterfront Development Corp. for the state,
said David Karem, president of the waterfront agency.
