Panel backs Main Street buildings plan

Planning officials endorsed a $20 million plan to renovate most of a historic block on Main Street, including replacing two buildings that partially collapsed two months ago. Waterford Investments LLC wants to construct two new buildings at 101 and 103 W. Main St. and renovate the structures from 105 to 119 W. Main to create space for a hotel, apartments, stores, offices and restaurants. The new and renovated buildings would have a total of 230,000 square feet of space in four stories and a lower level.

Developers plan more housing

Downtown gets new boost. With the nearly completed Glassworks building as a backdrop, developers announced plans for more new downtown housing, including 100 units on land they'll buy from the city of Louisville. The new units -- roughly half condominiums, half apartments -- will be built by partners in the original Glassworks project.

Software offers to map out maze of electrical circuits

Every homeowner knows the problem, and so do a lot of apartment dwellers. Somebody flips on one more appliance, and the lights go off. It's not clear which parts of the house are affected. Here's what would be great: You go to the laptop computer and bring up a drawing that shows all of the rooms in your house. You find the location of any of the lights that went off, put the cursor on one, and click. The computer tells you what else is out, and directs you to the breaker switch that will turn it all back on. LG&E Enertech, a nonregulated subsidiary of LG&E Energy, has just such a computer program for commercial and industrial users.

Web awards show still a winner

This may have been the year of dot-gloom. Perhaps that's why the recent Webby Awards ceremony, hosted in San Francisco, was filled with self-effacing dot-bomb humor and a sense of togetherness after the storm. "Tonight we are not only honoring excellence, but tenacity and survival," said Webby Awards founder Tiffany Schlain.
