16+ predictions for Louisville in 2025

Access Louisville

We've open up our crystal ball, blew on the circuit board and put it back together.

Surely, now, we're ready to predict the future.

As we have the last few years, we start another year of the Access Louisville podcast by making predictions for what we think will happen in the area over the next 12 months.

We tackle a large range of topics in our predictions — construction, sports, business trends bourbon and more. You'll have to listen in on your favorite podcast streaming app to hear all of them but here are just a few to give you a taste:

• Mid-City Mall will be sold (it is on the market after all) but there will be legal battles related to what is developed there;
• A new building conversion program will finally get work moving on the Starks building redevelopment project;
• Louisville will make a push to land a WNBA franchise considering expansion plans for the league;
• And Buc-ee's will continue it's expansion into Kentucky with a location between Louisville and Cincinnati.

Keep in mind these are just predictions, based on familiarity with trends in the area and not any inside knowledge.

The predictions show is a favorite Access Louisville tradition.
