OPPORTUNITY
WHAT: Please join the City of Ludlow for a groundbreaking
ceremony for the Ludlow Plaza Project. The Ludlow Plaza Project is the
construction of the new Municipal Parking Lot and Rail Viewing Station.
“The Ludlow Plaza Project
is one component of an effort to create a transitional location from the east
side of Ludlow, into the Historic Downtown Business District,” said Mayor of
Ludlow, Ken Wynn.
“This location, in
conjunction with the Ludlow Yards Project, are the first of several projects to
embrace the rail history of Ludlow in this location. As Ludlow plans for growth
and future success, the community seeks to embrace the past as it creates a new
future.”
This project is funded in part by the
City and in part through the NKADD Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund Program
(BRLF). The BRLF program uses grants from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to finance the cleanup of brownfield sites to assist the redevelopment of
these properties into viable and sustainable business or residences.

The City of Ludlow has worked with Human
nature, AEI, and Hub & Weber on the engineering and design of the project.
The Municipal Parking Lot is designed to have spaces on the northern part of
the lot for the use by retail visitors of Ludlow Yards (once constructed). The
southern portion of the parking lot will be used for Officials, City Employees
and visitors.
The Rail Viewing Station will
provide a unique space to view trains as they cross from Ohio into Kentucky passing over the Ohio River. The Rail Viewing is raised
for optimal viewing. Rail enthusiasts have visited for years, and this
will provide them a safe and ideal location for viewing.
This project contract
has been awarded to Endeavor Construction, being the lowest and most
responsible bid submitted. The official start date of construction is Monday
September 25, 2017.
