Paducah Main Street Development Update
Downtown Development Specialist Melinda Winchester updated the Mayor and
Commissioners on new businesses in downtown and LowerTown and Paducah
Main Street's promotional activities. From May 31 through August 2 of this year,
Main Street promoted Smashin' Summer Saturdays to create buzz in the
downtown area and attract new businesses. The plan for 2015 is to expand it to
11 weeks. Winchester also listed the new or relocated businesses to downtown in
2014. In July, Paducah Main Street organized Showcase Paducah which provided
the community an opportunity to tour commercial and residential properties for
sale or lease in downtown and LowerTown. That promotional event led to the
purchase of four buildings on Broadway. Winchester also outlined the work
underway to help property owners receive state and federal tax credits, apply for
roof stabilization funds, apply for fagade grants, and pursue the redevelopment of
properties to provide upper story living space. Winchester says, "That's
progress. It's wonderful and exciting to see." The downtown area also has
received three new cast iron benches with six more planned and a new gazebo
was installed at 2°d Street and Broadway last week. Regarding upcoming events,
Winchester previewed the Kentucky Heritage Council's conference to be held this
week in Paducah. Other upcoming items for this year include the Downtown
Holiday Storefront Display Contest, the Holiday Open House on Sunday,
November 2, and the Dickens of a Christmas Small Business Saturday event on
Saturday, November 29. For next year, Paducah Main Street is working on a new
promotion to be held in conjunction with AQS QuiltWeekTM in addition to
considering an outdoor swap event. Winchester says, "I really want people
outside of downtown and LowerTown to realize what we have going on in
downtown Paducah."
