The new ballpark is a major feature of the redevelopment efforts along the gateway to Western Kentucky University.
The development covers roughly seven central downtown blocks. The ballpark is on the northeast end of the district. The other end covers several projects on and next to Western's campus. The total district covers about 44 acres, excluding public buildings.
Within that area, there are plans for $251 million in development, he said. Of that, $115 million would be public projects, including the ballpark, an 800-space parking garage, Circus Square Park and the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center, renovation of Van Meter Auditorium and construction of two parking lots for Western.
Another $136 million in private development includes offices, commercial space, restaurants, hotels and homes. (Baseball. Facilities, Financial, MinorTeam, Professional Sports, Venue)
