 The Business First crew has once again set out to predict what 2023 will hold for the Louisville community. 

We tackle a large range of topics in our predictions, from the new mayor’s priorities to major hotels on the Sunny Side (Southern Indiana).

You will have to listen in the player above or your favorite podcast streaming app to hear all of them, but as a treat, here are just a few:

Louisville’s favorite son, rapper Jack Harlow, will get involved in UofL’s Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) business.The Louisville Bats, minor league baseball team, will finish with a winning record this season — for the first time since 2011.Louisville’s airport will land a major nonstop flight — possibly to Seattle or Toronto.Fourth Street Live! will land a major renovation project — and possibly be sold to another development company.

The predictions show is a favorite Access Louisville tradition.

In fact, last time on Access Louisville, we traveled back in time to our 2022 predictions to see how they aged in hindsight. Surprisingly, we got a few right, including the announcement of two new Publix locations in Louisville and that the University of Louisville would part ways with its then-head coach Chris Mack.

So we have a pretty good track record, right? Let’s see what the year has in store.

Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.  It’s co-hosted by David A. Mann and Laurel Deppen. Our guests this week are Stephen P. Schmidt, Ellie Tolbert, Michael L. Jones, Shea Van Hoy and Haley Cawthon.
