Yet last year, we set out to predict what would happen in 2022. Now as the year comes to a close, we went back to review those 16 predictions. Some were pretty bold, (and didn’t age well in hindsight,) while others unexpectedly were spot on.You can travel back in time and hear the rest of the predictions from last year’s show at this link.Here are a few things we predicted: Two more Publix retail locations will be announced; the NCAA will wrap its investigation and the University of Louisville men's basketball team a gets three-season postseason ban; Downtown properties start converting to apartments; and River Ridge Commerce Center will land a Fortune 500 corporate headquarters.Reporter Ellie Tolbert was spot on with the Publix prediction. In 2022, two Publix locations were announced, one as recently as this month. The grocery giant announced it will open stores at the northwest corner of Flat Rock Road and Shelbyville Road and one in Lexington. The UofL prediction was half right. The NCAA investigation did wrap up, but the punishment was far less harsh than a three-season postseason ban. An independent committee issued UofL a $5,000 fine, ending a years-long period of limbo for the program.As for the other two predictions listed above…Well, they didn’t shape up. You’ll have to listen to find out what other predictions came true.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It’s co-hosted by David A. Mann and Laurel Deppen.
