Since the completion of the first portions of Waterfront Park in the mid 1990’s, the Waterfront Development Corporation’s mission has evolved into fundraising, park maintenance, event production and coordination, park planning and construction.
WDC oversees its mission from our funky little building on the wharf, which has its own interesting history. We also manage the Belle of Louisville on behalf of Louisville Metro, have Design Review Authority in the Waterfront District, and developed the master plan for Riverview Park in Southwest Jefferson County.
Park planning and construction shifted into high gear with the creation of the Louisville Waterfront Master Plan, which was approved in 1991, and continues today with design and construction of Phase IV of the park. An office staff of eight oversees planning, project oversight, Waterfront District design review, event production and coordination, fundraising, and other administrative functions.
Please consider supporting Waterfront Park as it continues to grow and develop for our community.
