Downtown Louisville Sees Investment Amid Major Company Departures
DEFENSE
Despite the departure of major companies like Humana and LG&E, downtown Louisville is experiencing revitalization with new investments and job additions, including Yum! relocating 550 employees and the US Army Corps of Engineers moving 750 employees to the LG&E Center. Over $880 million has been invested in cosmetic and infrastructural improvements, with an additional $2.5 billion planned, while 770 residential units were completed in 2025, with 2,500 more expected this year. External factors such as interest rates and tariffs may currently hinder growth, but potential changes could accelerate the revitalization efforts.
