City of Paducah requesting development proposals for 1501 Broadway

The City of Paducah is excited to invite developers to submit proposals for the development of housing on the city-owned Katterjohn property located at 1501 Broadway. 

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the revitalization of a key area within our community.

The City purchased the 3.21-acre property which included the deteriorated Katterjohn building in 2023 after previous owners had failed to properly maintain the structure. 

Mayor George Bray said: "The city is looking for creative proposals to provide housing on this key property in Paducah. The Katterjohn site is unique with both commercial and residential zoning. We are looking for a project that will fit into the housing stock in the neighboring Fountain Avenue Neighborhood, and we encourage developers to engage with us in getting to the right solution.”

In 2024, the City approved a demolition contract to remove the dilapidated structure. The site is now cleared and ready for redevelopment.

Proposals will be accepted no later than 4 p.m. on March 31. Please visit 1501 Broadway Proposal Packet to view submission guidelines and proposal details.
