Bardstown Road Investment Company, with applicant Sandra Metts Snowden, is proposing to redevelop Mid‑City Mall into Mid‑City Market under a Bardstown/Baxter overlay permit at 1250 Bardstown Rd. The project covers about 10.9 acres with roughly 111,814 square feet of new building, has a project cost estimated at $60,000,000, lists Branch Acquisition Co. as developer and Gresham Smith as designer, and even shows a small $75 outstanding fee on the record—looks like a major commercial makeover is in the works.
New Sky LLC has applied to convert the building at 4535 Outer Loop into a dual‑brand restaurant, with WATHCO, LLC listed as the contractor. The commercial alteration is a comprehensive interior and exterior remodel—new kitchen equipment, plumbing fixtures, furniture, lighting, finishes, and interior partitions plus exterior paint, lighting and signage (sign permit handled separately)—with no structural or mechanical changes and a project value estimated at $775,000, so it sounds like a big makeover rather than a rebuild.
Pleasure Ridge Park Fire Protection is getting an electrical rewire as part of the PRP Fire House renovation at 6770 Dixie Hwy. Wagner Electric is the licensed contractor installing a 1,200-amp service with three subpanels and one meter, and the electrical permit is issued for a project estimated at $1,143,697.
