Community invited to share input Tuesday on future of Louisville's Mid City Mall

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A community listening session will be held Tuesday evening to discuss the future of Mid City Mall.

As Mid City Mall near the Highlands sits for sale, residents and business owners are voicing hopes and concerns about what might come next for the aging but beloved property.

Located on Bardstown Road, the 11-acre site has long served as a neighborhood hub with a mix of retail, a library and community-focused services. Now, with vacant storefronts becoming more common, the mall's future is uncertain.

The second of two community listening sessions will be held at the Highlands-Shelby Park Library starting at 6 p.m.

The property, anchored by the Highlands-Shelby Park Library and ValuMarket, was listed for sale last fall for $11 million.

All District 8 residents, local business owners and interested community members are invited to attend.

"I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who came out for the first session to share their hopes and visions for the future," Louisville Metro Councilman Ben Reno-Weber said. "Your voices matter, and we can to help shape what comes next. Let's work together to ensure its next phase reflects the values and needs of our community."

The meeting is open to the public, but registration is requested for planning purposes. To register, click here.

People who are unable to attend, but would like to share an idea or concern, can contact Reno-Weber's office at 502-574-1108 or click here.
