We talk about a couple of local projects that appear to be dead — or at least on life support — during this week's Access Louisville podcast.

The first is the proposed Dream Hotel — a $100 million hotel project that was proposed on Main Street a few years ago. As LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett reported recently, the effort is indefinitely on hold, according to a Louisville Metro Government official. Louisville isn't the only city where Dream Hotel projects have faced some issues. After that, we talk about a retail development in J'town (which was suspected to include a new Publix location) that looks to have been stopped as well. 

The property where the development was proposed needed a rezoning in order to move forward, which was denied by Louisville Metro Council. And now the deadline to appeal that action has passed.

It's not all bad news though. We also talk about plans to move forward with redevelopment of the former Jeffboat property in Jeffersonville, Indiana, now that a developer has been picked for that massive project.

After that we chat a bit about soccer with Louisville City FC hosting a major German club, Eintracht Frankfurt, for an international friendly recently. And we discuss some recent layoffs in the bourbon industry.
