The former the Jeffersonville Boat and Machine Co. shipyard — Jeffboat, as it's known — is no doubt one of the area's biggest redevelopment project.
The former shipyard, closed to downtown Jeffersonville (and just across the Ohio River from Downtown Louisville) closed in 2018 due to economic struggle in the industry. Now there's a push to have it redeveloped as mixed use commercial, residential and green space.
We talk with Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore about that project on this week's Access Louisville podcast. He sees it as a major chance for his city to capitalize on quality of life and million-dollar views of the city. Taking it on is Thrive Cos., a real estate development company based in Columbus, Ohio, as Louisville Business First recently reported.
We also talk about development at River Ridge, including landing Facebook parent Meta, which is opening a data center there. And how best to address the high-number of short-term rental properties around the city, among other topics.
