Episode Synopsis

It wasn’t that long ago that the 85-acre green space we now call Waterfront Park was an eyesore littered with abandoned buildings and scrapyards. Today it is the most utilized urban park in Louisville, welcoming more than 2 million visitors a year and named one of the country’s best riverwalks by USA Today. We talk with the non-profit’s President and executive director, Deborah Bilitski about the transformation that is still underway today. Ted Nixon, chair of the Waterfront Park’s Phase IV campaign joins to us share what’s next as the park begins a massive $50 million expansion.
