Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has a new, ambitious economic development plan for the city. Pat Mulloy is the man in charge of making it happen. Mulloy, a lawyer who spent most of his career managing senior living companies, joined Greenberg as deputy mayor for economic development earlier this year. In this WDRB+ Studio conversation with WDRB's Chris Otts, Mulloy discussed the broad goals of the plan and how Mulloy plans to prevent it from languishing on a shelf with little action, like so many previous plans have over the years.

In the conversation, Mulloy touched on:

-Why making it easier to build housing, including low-pricedhousing in every neighborhood, is a “moral imperative”

-The importance of international immigration to Louisville’sgrowth

-Remaking downtown in the remote work era

-How Louisville might follow in the steps of Austin andNashville

-How to boost entrepreneurial activity and venture capital

-Why it all revolves the success of the University of Louisville
