downtown/2002/stories/aerialhospitals.jpg Mayor Dave
Armstrong believes the city is making strides on the
''work'' phase of his effort to redevelop downtown.
He and others cite substantial advances by the eMain
technology-development program, centered in the old
Clocktower Building on East Main. The renovated building
will house a technology training center for students
and adults. Since Armstrong launched the eMain program
in 2000, several technology companies have set up shop
on East Main, and others are looking at the area. 
More than 4,000 people, many toting skates and skateboards,
turned out yesterday for the long-awaited debut of the
Louisville Extreme Park, eager to challenge the concrete
behemoth of bowls, banks and pipes billed as one of
the world's best. 
Though not even built yet, the 58 apartments planned
in the old YMCA at Broadway and Third Street already
have at least 60 people waiting to fill them. The Glassworks'
36 apartments at Ninth and Market all were rented by
the time the building's renovation was completed last
fall. And more than one-fourth of the condominiums in
Waterfront Park Place, ranging in price from $275,000
to $2 million, already have down payments on them. With
demand high and some public assistance available, developers
are hustling to meet Mayor Dave Armstrong's request
to build new housing in downtown Louisville. Over the
next few years, they plan to spend nearly $140 million
on new apartments and condos in the city's center.
