Royal Theater revitalization focus of community discussion Tuesday in Louisville

Republished from Kentucky Lantern

Revitalizing the historic Royal Theater in Louisville’s West End will be the focus of a community discussion Tuesday afternoon.

OneWest, a community development nonprofit, will host the event in collaboration with Luckett & Farley Architects.

“Opened in the 1920s, the theater quickly became a cultural landmark, known for showcasing the latest films and hosting community events,” according to a news release. “Its elegant design and vibrant atmosphere made it a central hub for entertainment and social gatherings in the West End. However, over the decades, the theater has fallen into disrepair, and OneWest aims to revitalize this landmark and collaborate with community members to shape a next chapter,” says the release.

The discussion on June 25 will be structured to accommodate different groups:

1 p.m., city officials;

2 p.m., community groups and schools;

3 p.m., business Leaders;

4:15 p.m., community residents.

The event will be held at 1803 W. Broadway, with parking available on the side and back of the building.

Attendees are strongly encouraged to RSVP using the following link: RSVP for The Royal Project Discussion.
