In cryptic I-know-something-you-don’t-know fashion, Arena Authority Chairman Jim Host tells LEO Weekly that Mayor Jerry Abramson is preparing to announce details about a new development near the downtown arena site.
“The mayor is going to make an announcement Friday about a new development that nobody even knows about that’s going to happen close to the arena,” says Host. “They’re having a press conference at 10:30 on Friday morning. He called me about it himself.”
No word from the mayor’s office yet, but we’ll keep you posted. (SK)
UPDATE:
The mayor’s office just issued a press release confirming Host’s intel was indeed accurate. Mayor Abramson will discuss the latest downtown development — Whiskey Row Lofts — at the corner of Second and Main streets above Bearno’s Pizza tomorrow morning.

Wonder when they are announcing an actual grocery store opening downtown so people can buy milk at 9pm.
It is relevant to know whats going on downtown with the arena and the surrounding businesses ecspecially when its something that creates jobs and generates money for the city of Louisville.
