How will the Arena impact downtown Louisville?
More than $2.5 billion of construction is occurring or planned downtown, including the new Arena, the Iron Quarter, Museum Plaza, the expansion of Fourth Street Live, and numerous condominiums and residential apartment buildings. Fourteen projects are now in the pipeline, with many already under construction. These projects include hotels, office development, condos/retail/office mixes, and a city block reserved for major waterfront development. The Arena will bring hundreds of thousands of people downtown each year, generating new revenue for Louisville Metro and the Commonwealth.
