LDP Business Support
Downtown Louisville is the cultural, social, and commerce center of Louisville. There are more visitors, employees, attractions, hotels – therefore, economic impact – than anywhere else in the region, making it a great place to locate your business. LDP works to create a vibrant community by promoting redevelopment, vitality, and economic growth of small businesses that support Downtown.
Whether you’re a sole proprietor, start-up with one employee or established business with many employees, we support small businesses from grand openings to expansions, through promotion, technical assistance, referrals to small business resource providers, or identifying sources of financial assistance.
