Tech district may be poised
to turn corner
Almost two years
ago, Mayor Dave Armstrong stood in a drafty, vacant
building at Brook and Main streets and declared he was
creating a technology-business-based development area
for Louisville, to be known as eMainUSA. In a period
of economic downturn, the area has seen a steady flow
of development; and soon, city officials believe, it
will start paying off.

Aldermen begin rezoning
process for downtown housing
To help clear the way for a downtown housing development,
the Louisville Board of Aldermen has taken the first
step to rezone four acres of city-owned land along East
Main and East Market streets that once belonged to the
Brinly-Hardy Co. The $4.8 million first phase would
produce 36 loft apartments and 11,000 square feet of
retail space. The second phase is expected to include
at least 75 apartments and additional commercial development
-- mainly offices and perhaps some retail space -- on
both sides of Preston just south of Main. Mayor Dave
Armstrong has called the planned housing a centerpiece
of his effort to promote development of new housing
across downtown.
