Louisville Downtown Partnership

Downtown Louisville. Everyone’s Neighborhood.

The Louisville Downtown Partnership (LDP) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to improve Louisville's Downtown by promoting the redevelopment, vitality, and economic growth of the Greater Downtown area by building a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable environment through targeted services in cleanliness, safety, beautification, marketing, and strategic advocacy.

Downtown Louisville is the economic, cultural, and social heartbeat of the region. Within a day’s drive of two-thirds of the U.S. population, we’re strategically positioned for business, tourism, and development. As hometown to Muhammad Ali, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jack Harlow, we’re one of only a dozen U.S. cities with all five major performing arts groups, the second largest collection of cast iron facades in America, and the very unique historic Whiskey Row, a walkable urban experience where you can visit a dozen distillery and tasting experiences, one just 5 minutes away from the next.

Representing less than one percent of Louisville's total land mass, Downtown boasts 

• 67,000+ workers from more than 100 ZIP codes
• 10,000+ residents calling Downtown home
• 35 million annual visits to our city center
• $3.2 billion in underway or announced investment transforming our urban core
• $14.4 billion in gross domestic product driving regional vitality
