Things are looking up in the old whiskey district
along Louisville's East Main Street, the section that
Mayor Dave Armstrong tagged eMain USA two years ago.
The mayor held a reunion for some of the key players
in the redevelopment. ''It's been a quick two years,''
Mayor Armstrong said. Since that original meeting
21 projects and buildings have been launched in the
eMain corridor.
A fleet of construction equipment, including cranes,
bulldozers and backhoes, is altering the landscape
near the Big Four Bridge as work on the expansion
of downtown Louisville's Waterfront Park picks up.
When completed in fall 2003, the expansion will feature
a huge playground, a 2,000-seat amphitheater, a cafe,
an overlook, docks and three parking areas, with a
total of about 150 spaces. 
A new center in downtown Louisville to house and nurture
start-up biomedical companies is filling up even before
it's built. The building, a centerpiece of the Louisville
Medical Center Development Corp.'s efforts to help
local medical researchers market their discoveries,
is in the early stages of construction at Brook and
Jefferson streets. It is scheduled to open in November.
