 Downtown Momentum

03-13-2026

Dear Friend of Downtown,

When synthesizing data from the prior year, we get a great birds-eye perspective of how our Downtown did… where we did great and where we may be lacking.
 
Given that 2024 was a banner year due to Derby 150 and hosting the PGA Championship, I’m excited that our numbers remained steady in 2025… and that’s even with a never-before canceled Thunder Over Louisville!
 
The fact is, there is more to see and do in Downtown and our numbers reflect the strength of our tourism, commerce, and event activity. Downtown is thriving and more and more people are acknowledging this.
 
The recent announcements of office moves and the new developments in Downtown help broadcast the momentum and confidence to our community about what a special place Downtown is… and we’re not slowing down.
 
You can learn more at the State of the Downtown on March 24 (deadline to register is March 16!), or stay tuned to the LDP channels to share in the great accomplishments!
 
See you on the streets soon!
