The 80-acre Old Jeffboat (hereafter Old JB) shipyard is located on the north bank of the Ohio River and is approximately one-mile in length between Ohio River mileposts 601.5 and 602.5. The redevelopment area is a prominent and highly visible site in the Louisville MSA. The property is in a mixed-use area mostly consisting of commercial and residential uses. The former shipyard is comprised of multiple vacant parcels under common ownership or lease. The property is currently vacant and many of the former industrial buildings have been demolished since the closure of the shipyard in 2018.
The OHM-Advisors team of local, regional, and national experts is working collaboratively to generate a redevelopment master plan, which will create a unique vision, land use framework, and development strategy focusing on maximizing value to the landowner and surrounding community. The Old JB redevelopment plan will utilize a market-driven approach to establish a vision and methodical framework for redevelopment of the property. The plan will provide details on the type, location, and scale of development that is appropriate and suitable for the riverfront site. The plan will also identify and estimate the necessary nearby infrastructure and utility improvements required to support the redevelopment framework established for the site.
