The next task force meeting is April 23 at 4:30 p.m. in the theater of the downtown Central Library. A special presentation will be made by Kenneth Handmaker who helped establish the “Entertainment Destination Zone” which is what 4th Street Live has been able to take advantage of.
You won't want to miss this!
Louisville attorney Kenneth Handmaker was the author of Kentucky's "Entertainment Destination Zone" (EDZ) designation, administered by the ABC. Lexington did not participate in the development of the EDZ. As a result, only 1st class cities (namely, Louisville and its 4th Street Live district) can avail themselves of the regulation. This can be changed to include Lexington. The lack of available licenses is a major impediment to the development of additional entertainment venues in downtown Lexington.
Mr. Handmaker is intimate with the details of the EDZ regulation in particular and issues concerning liquor licensing in general. He will address these issues before the Downtown Entertainment Development Task Force at its regular monthly meeting on April 23.
We hope you can attend!
