Subject: [CPEO-BIF] Louisville Developer Turns Brownfield into Thriving Business

Local developer turns Bardstown Road brownfield into thriving business

By Boris Ladwig

Insider Louisville

February 18, 2016

The Mellow Mushroom pizza restaurant on Bardstown Road beckons passersby with its sleek, mostly black exterior, lots of windows and sharp angles. The eatery’s interior welcomes patrons with square wooden tables, brick walls and a psychedelic centerpiece above a counter that reveals the shiny, stainless steel of the pizza ovens.

The upstairs portion of the restaurant boasts a large bar, a deck, additional seating areas and more groovy wall designs featuring guitars, vinyl LPs and images of rock legends such as Jimi Hendrix.

The building’s current appearance stands in stark contrast to its dilapidated predecessor: a defunct dry cleaning business. Paint peeled off the building’s front. Faded letters, barely visible, hinted at the business’ name. A dingy basement hid grimy walls and rusty pipes.
