NuLu Marketplace is open for business, city leaders announced at a grand opening ceremony Thursday morning. So what should visitors expect?
The massive business hub in the 800 block of E. Market and E. Main streets has been in the works for years, with anchor businesses like West Sixth Brewing and Buff City Soap opening in recent months and more tenants coming soon.
Mayor Greg Fischer said the project is a good example of momentum behind development in Louisville. The construction process took vision and persistence through the coronavirus pandemic, he said, but the final product is impressive.
"I know a lot of us have been coming by this place for a long period of time. … And watching the development take place over these last couple years," Fischer said. "… I think this is going to be one of the premier redevelopments in the entire country.”
