4th Street Live to Expand

A new land deal was approved by the city council that will allow developers the opportunity to expand 4th Street Live in Louisville’s downtown.

After a three-hour debate, Metro Council Democrats voted in lock step last night to approve the $12 million purchase of three acres of prime real estate that will allow The Cordish Cos. to expand 4th Street Live. The development, called Center City, would potentially be worth $250 million.

It looks like the deal wasn’t what the council wanted, money-wise, but the Democrats went along with Mayor Abramson, who’s consistently wanted to spend more tax dollars in the downtown area.
