West Main Cultural District

West Main Cultural District is an area of downtown undergoing a development renaissance.

As quoted by the "Louisville Downtown Development Plan:"

Main Street historically was the epicenter of Louisville
trade and commerce. Throughout the years, hundreds of
businesses have thrived here, shoulder to shoulder, sparking
the engine of growth in our community. ..
Today, the West Main Street Historic
District contains a nationally recognized collection of
cast-iron architecture, and the innovative Cultural Arts
District program has sparked a revitalization of West Main
Street that not only celebrates this rich architectural
fabric, but has resulted in the area once again becoming
a hub for many of the city’s most creative and interesting
business and cultural activities.
