2017 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide

Welcome to Louisville, the hometown of sports icon Muhammad Ali, national broadcast journalist Diane Sawyer and Hollywood’s “it girl” Jennifer Lawrence. Louisville is the 15th largest city in the nation but it feels like home with pockets of neighborhoods nestled among tree-lined streets and scattered throughout the revitalized sprawling downtown area. It won’t take you long to notice why Louisvillians are known for their friendliness and hospitality. After all, this community introduced the world to bourbon, fried chicken and the Kentucky Derby! Some of the River City’s best kept secrets are the numerous outdoor amenities including Waterfront Park, the Olmsted parks system and the Parklands of Floyd’s Fork. Additionally, Louisville is an eclectic city offering a burgeoning arts scene and a nationally recognized culinary and dining community. Louisville is uniquely located at the intersection of I-64, I-65 and I-71 and within 500 miles of 50 percent of the nation’s population. In 2016 the $2.3 billion Downtown Bridge and the East End Bridge projects were completed to improve Greater Louisville’s logistics network and make it easier to navigate our region for businesses and citizens alike. Again, welcome our city. We can’t wait to show you our neighborhoods of heritage, character and charm. We hope you choose to call our city “home”!

Official bugler of Churchill Downs, Steve Buttleman, delivers the Call to the Post.

The Business of Horse Racing Article by Stacy Smith Rogers It’s a sure bet that when “Louisville” is mentioned anywhere in North America (and a lot of other places beyond), images of horses, bourbon and white twin spires pop into people’s heads. Even if they’ve never traveled to Derby City, they’ve been here in spirit – through iconic images featured in film, TV, print and video of mud-spattered jockeys on Thoroughbreds, rounding the last turn for a photo finish. While tens of millions of viewers worldwide tune in to catch the “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” the first Saturday in May each year, Louisville is definitely cast in the spotlight as more than 160,000 attendees join together in singing “My Old Kentucky Home” at the legendary Kentucky Derby. Across the board, there’s simply no doubt that horse racing is a winning ticket for Greater Louisville and its proud Bluegrass state. 12

2017 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide

While historic in nature, the rich heritage of horse racing is preserved in tradition (and a little superstition) at Churchill Downs, the famed race track that has hosted the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks annually since 1875 – a record for the longest-running, continuous sporting event in the United States. Three race meets are held in the spring, late summer and fall at Churchill Downs, and numerous events, concerts and celebrations are featured there throughout the year. Tradition can be found around every corner, whether it’s how patrons bet at a particular ticket window or the routines of jockeys before mounting their ponies. Whatever your walk in life, there’s a contagious fascination with the sport of horse racing in Louisville, and there’s simply no better place on Earth to experience it.

BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY Whether it’s maneuvering the crowds of wide-brimmed hats and pastel bow ties as the three-year-olds “Run for the Roses,” or watching the “The Greatest Race” video at the Kentucky Derby Museum on a normal day, long-time residents and newcomers alike are proud of their hometown, which had garnered a winning reputation worldwide. Celebrities, millionaires and plain old curious folks flock to Louisville each year to cross one more thing off their bucket lists with a trip to the Derby. The estimated local economic impact of the Kentucky Derby is $217 million. Statewide, the impact is closer to $400 million. In Louisville, it’s not unusual to spend two weeks celebrating a twominute horse race through the Kentucky Derby Festival. According to a recent study by the University of Louisville’s MBA program, the economic impact of the festival is just shy of $128 million. In addition to the annual running of the Derby and Oaks, the racetrack has hosted the Breeders’ Cup World Championship eight times, turning the spotlight back on Louisville each time it hosts – and adding significantly to the local economy. Year-round, Greater Louisville is impacted by the numerous businesses and segments of the community which contribute to an appreciation for Louisville’s historic past-time. $4 Billion Statewide Impact of Horse Industry Kentucky’s fascination with its fast, four-legged friends is thriving and growing. The economic impact of the horse industry statewide is reported at $4 billion, generating over 55,000 jobs. A Sunday drive through Greater Louisville’s rural communities and beyond showcases

blackboard fences and well-appointed stables that host beautiful horse farms, many of which offer tours for visitors. Statewide, there this an estimated 450 Thoroughbred farms, and more than 8,000 registered Thoroughbred foals are born each year in Kentucky. There are eight licensed racing and simulcast facilities across the state. Companies throughout the Commonwealth contribute to the “Derby experience,” marketing products that promote the Kentucky Derby and horse racing year-round. A short drive to Lexington to visit the Kentucky Horse Park is a great way to learn more about the economic role that horses play in the state. Continued Improvements at “The Downs” Throughout the years, Churchill Downs has undergone massive renovation projects. In addition to grandstand and clubhouse improvements, private luxury suites and integrated simulcast areas have been added. The installation of the world’s largest 4K video screen, “The Big Board,” and permanent lights to operate night-time racing have contributed to modernizing the facility. In 2015, a $19 million investment of additional capital improvements was announced that would add new seating and further enhance the customer experience. The Kentucky Derby Museum, located adjacent to Churchill, has also made significant investments to enhance the visitor experience, with a promise in 2017 to unveil more exciting features. A newlyupdated production of its trademark video offers a 360-degree, immersive experience, and more than 20,000 artifacts and items

BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY translate the Derby story. Just recently, a permanent exhibit was added to honor Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, which achieved the thrilling, long-awaited title in 2015, accomplishing what no other horse had done since Affirmed in 1978. (Now retired, American Pharoah has already earned more than $20 million in stud fees.) Visitors can schedule a “backside” tour of Churchill Downs through the museum and take in the behind-the-scenes perspective into the business and craft of horse racing, watching morning workouts and the daily happenings within the community of professionals dedicated to the industry. For more information, visit derbymuseum.org. Teaching Future Generations the Business of Horse Racing While steeped in a long-standing tradition of racing Thoroughbreds, the community is committed to passing the reins to future generations of horse lovers who will no doubt continue to invest and share their passion for an industry that has served the region so well. The University of Louisville’s four-year Equine Industry Program is a great example, through which students can earn a degree that combines horse commerce, business enterprise and academics, once again reinforcing that the business of horse racing in Louisville is highly regarded and respected.

Louisville’s Hi-Tech Circuit is Creating Quite the Buzz Article by Stacy Smith Rogers When former President Barack Obama was looking for an example of effective job training in the technology industry in 2015, he chose a downtown tech company in Louisville as a model for the country to follow. Indatus, a software and data analytics company that later sold to Real Pages for $49 million, was the backdrop that served as an example of the city’s quest to shine a light on its potential as a technology hub. Obama praised Code Louisville, a program which Indatus partnered with to train people in coding and software development. Today, Code Louisville continues to equip people with coding and computer skills through a series of software development tracks (totaling 24 weeks). The cost is free (yes, FREE) courtesy of a Workforce Innovation Fund grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. Companies work with Code Louisville to mentor, partner and hire the program’s graduates. Code Louisville combines online training with weekly in-person, mentor-driven sessions to cultivate this next generation of software developers. Code Louisville is a great example of the collaborative spirit shared by the community to enhance the area’s technology resources and workforce. A quick glance at www.codelouisville.org highlights a list of more than 50 companies which have put its graduates to work. In recent years, there’s been a surge of activity among companies

which focus on innovation and hi-tech in Louisville. Nucleus, which offers resources and connections for start-up companies, is at the center of that action. Overseen by the University of Louisville Foundation, Nucleus is moving forward with its mission to be the “epicenter” of planned research-sciences growth in Louisville as a driver of innovation. Nucleus is creating a vibrant technology business district at the University of Louisville’s Haymarket 30-block property in Downtown. Its iHub co-workspace serves as a launch pad for innovative start ups and a meeting place for brainstorming sessions and work groups. The buzz surrounding Louisville’s burgeoning tech industry continues as investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, educators and innovators are coming together at the city’s center, where Nucleus’ training program, LaunchIt, welcomed 37 entrepreneurs in its 2016 fall session. In a city full of historic buildings, old fashioned Southern hospitality and a commitment to preserving heritage, there’s an undeniable, energetic vibe that’s igniting opportunities for start up companies to focus on forward thinking technologies throughout Greater Louisville. If you’ve got a laptop and an innovative idea, but need a place to land, there are numerous workspaces found at startuplouisville.com, which also highlights accelerator and “boot camp” programs that 2017 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide

BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY equip big picture thinkers with opportunities for training and access to technology resources. (There’s even a collaborative workspace for game developers called the Warp Zone.) Louisville is becoming more readily recognized as a community that is embracing technology and data to better the quality of life for its citizens. The up-and-coming Gigabit Experience Center has garnered national attention as Louisville was among just three cities to be honored for its efforts to harness high-speed internet to enhance civic engagement and democratic participation. A new “smart apartment”

featured next to the Kentucky Science Center showcases and explores the many combinations of smart home products in an urban-living environment. Housed in partnership with LouieLab, a civic innovation hub for public-private collaboration, CNET’s Urban Smart Home is on the cutting edge of home technologies. It’s safe to say that with the recent surge in tech activity, Louisville has its head in the “cloud,” equipping motivated individuals and companies with a growing pool of talent and resources that make for an exciting time to live and work in Louisville.

Louisville is Buzzing with Housing Options

Article by Nancy Miller

Louisville is called Possibility City for exciting, tangible reasons. Unique neighborhoods, each with a compelling story, and thousands of housing options meet the diverse needs and lifestyles of singles, growing families, empty nesters and seniors. The Highlands, Crescent Hill and Old Louisville abound with historical character. Norton Commons and other developments are bringing their own vibrancy to what natives and newcomers affectionately call River City. Now is a great time to be a Louisvillian! New and expanding developments, large and small, are booming all around town. Companies with long-established local roots, as well as new enterprises, are building an array of both rent and own options. Downtown and the surrounding environs are flourishing with residential opportunities that are debuting to appreciative audiences. 18

2017 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide

â&#x20AC;&#x153;An emphasis on urban living and redevelopment has spread across the country. Twenty years ago, the Louisville landscape had little new multi-family development downtown and not much market rate housing,â&#x20AC;? says Phil Scherer, President of Commercial Kentucky. He says the catalysts that changed that were private developers and public/ private partnerships that elevated the energy level and vitality of downtown. In 1987 he developed Billy Goat Strut, at Hancock and Main Streets, one of the early mixed-use historic rehabilitations, in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood. He was also involved in the building of the condo Preston Point and the 82-unit Fleur de Lis condominium, both on Main Street. His interest in the downtown residential rebirth sparked a major

Housing & Construction life change for him. “After living in Crescent Hill for 33 years, my wife and I moved to Preston Point where we have lived for 11 years. It’s a great lock-and-leave environment and allows us to plug into the energy of downtown by simply walking out our front door,” he says. He points to developments adjacent to downtown as adding to the away-from-the-suburbs interests among Louisvillians and newcomers. Axis on Lexington is an upscale apartment complex with more than 300 units on nine acres at Payne Street and Lexington Road. Its developer, Cityscape Residential, is also the company behind Apex on Preston in the south end of Louisville. Scherer cites the Edwards Company’s projects at Baxter and Broadway and the former Mercy Academy location on Broadway as important residential additions to the city. The AMP, a 93-unit development on Brownsboro Road, increased residential options in the Clifton neighborhood. “There are lots of cities around the country in which older and younger folks want to be closer to a vibrant downtown where things are happening all the time, and there are numerous cultural events and food choices. Of course, many Millenials don’t want to own a car or mow the lawn. And, as cities are growing, there’s more movement of people leaving the country and suburbs and moving into the city. Also, as people leave big cities and come to Louisville, they want something that has the same downtown feel but is more easily maneuverable,” says Gill Holland, who has helped lead the revitalization of the East Market area, the food/restaurant/retail business/art gallery district. He is president of the NuLu Business Association, and principal in Haystack Partners, which has about a dozen residential units and 14 commercial buildings in NuLu. According to Holland, 30,000 cars head east from 4 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, when East Market becomes a ‘super highway.’ “The area always had high visibility; it was just challenged. It was an area that was ripe for convincing people to slow down. We had to create it as a destination because no one lived there eight years ago,” he says. Although living in second and third floor apartments over retail shops has been typical in the last few years, a major new development promises to change that. He mentions the urban-styled 310 NuLu Apartments, at 310 S. Hancock. And, he sees Main and Clay in Historic Butchertown, a luxury apartment complex currently under development, as being integral to the growth of the burgeoning area. “Portland is for people who are a little more pioneering and who want to be part of an up-and-coming neighborhood. Three years ago we announced a ten-year plan in Portland, but it’s becoming a five-year plan because with all the arts and cultural activities and the nonprofits located there, it’s going much faster than we predicted,” says Holland, who is also principal of the Portland Investment Group. Glamour is Back is the slogan for 800 Tower City Apartments, the City Club Company renovation of the former 800 Building, located at

800 South Fourth Street. “City Club’s owner, Jonathan Holzman, saw so much creativity, neat culture and rich history in Louisville. He wanted to be part of that,” says Emily Bixler, regional sales and marketing director. The building, which has 300 studio, one- and two-bedroom units, and is about two-thirds completely renovated, will feature a Sky Club, Bar Vetti restaurant and a roof-top pool. “The apartments are being rented as quickly as we can finish them,” notes Bixler. Underhill Associates converted an old cotton mill to become Germantown Mill Lofts, 188 units with high-style industrial character, at 946 Goss Avenue. “With its proximity to U of L, downtown, Eastern Parkway and the Highlands, we saw the location as a great opportunity. The building lent itself to the redevelopment of a residential property because of its hardwood floors, big windows and high ceilings,” says Colin Underhill. “We are very high on Germantown. Tons of terrific things began happening there once we announced the project.” His company also purchased 44 unsold units in Regency Tower, on Highway 42. Rebranding the building included renaming it The George and updating and refurnishing the common areas. Louisville is, indeed, Possibility City, with spectacular housing options that have an abundance of individuality. Whether your tastes run toward contemporary or classic, we say, Welcome Home.

Shelby County

American Saddlebred Horse Farm Tour, Shelbyville, KY

• An energetic buzz can be felt in Shelby County (alongside the slow-paced, easy-going way of life), especially at the new Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, a premier, 374,300-square-foot outlet mall shopping center featuring 95-plus choice retailers in an upscale setting in Simpsonville. • The American Saddlebred Capital of the World hosts numerous horse shows throughout the year, including the Shelbyville Horse Show, which has drawn championship American Saddlebreds from across the country for more than 25 years. (For locals, it’s one of the most popular social events of the season.) • Shelby County’s population is approximately 42,000. Strategically located between Louisville and Lexington, it’s an easy drive for commuters. It’s also a great location for new businesses. Two new multi-million dollar distilleries are currently under construction in Shelby County, creating new jobs and a wonderful addition to the region’s bourbon culture. • A community theater, the Clear Creek Park Family Activity Center, a movie theater, skate park and a variety of other offerings add to the family-friendly atmosphere and charm of Shelby County. • Long-time dining establishments such as Claudia Sanders Dinner House and Science Hill Inn add historic flavor to fine dining. Oneof-a-kind restaurants and downtown cafes and coffee shops (there’s even one in an antique store) add to the eclectic mix.

• Shelby County’s reputation as a destination for antique shopping and interior design is anchored by its wide variety of specialty stores, including the renowned Wakefield-Scearce Galleries, with more than 32,000 sq. ft. of showrooms. • Gallrein Farms is a popular spot to find fresh produce, pick pumpkins and take a hayride. New on the block (or the field, rather) is Mulberry Orchard where corn mazes in the fall and pulled pork sandwiches are drawing crowds of curious farm-goers. • In Shelby County, quality of life and peace of mind run as boldly as the horses do. It’s a place where the sun rises a little earlier for the folks making biscuits at Claudia Sanders Dinner House and sets a little later for couples enjoying live music on Saturday nights at one of the local wineries. • Behind-the-scenes tours at local horse farms (including a therapeutic riding center), can be arranged through the Shelby County Tourism Commission. Trail riders can explore Shelby Trails Equestrian Park on their own. • From Louisville, it’s just a short drive east along I-64, or for a more scenic route, take U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) and drive past horse farms and large countryside estates. • Guist Creek Marina and Camping located on a 314 acre bass fishing lake, the largest lake in Shelby County. 2017 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
