Episode Description
The neighborhoods of Louisville's west end are undergoing a flurry of investment and development, and it could mean big changes for the area's residents. The city recently finished road improvements at 18th and Broadway. OneWest, a nonprofit created to promote commercial real estate development, bought properties near the site to spur growth. There's also a planned $35 million track and field complex and a $28 million YMCA branch under construction in the area. Friday's guests talked about those developments and possible effects for residents--both good and bad. Our guests were:
- Lyndon Pryor - Chief Engagement Officer at the Louisville Urban League
- Evon Smith - President and CEO Of One West
- Jackie Floyd - Longtime Russell Resident
