This plan was funded in part by a 2008 Preserve America grant (grant number 21-08-AP-4115) to the City of Paducah, Kentucky. From the introduction: "the Paducah Riverfront Development Authority (PRDA) engaged a multi-disciplinary planning, design, and market assessment team to develop the Renaissance Area Master Plan (RAMP) for downtown Paducah. This initiative - covering the historic downtown core, the riverfront, and LowerTown - was designed with its primary mission to better link these three areas, in order to improve the market for each. The PRDA stressed this in its major outcome of the RAMP: 'It is important to the City to create a way for cultural and natural heritage tourists to be able to reach these three areas without interruption in order to be able to have a pleasant experience viewing and interacting with Paducah’s cultural and natural localities.' It should be pointed out that the RAMP was not designed to be a master plan for each or any of the three individual areas of downtown. While the plan contains certain recommendations and strategies for these individual areas, the RAMP is specifically focused on the transitions between and among these subareas, in order to – as specified by PRDA – increase the flow of people between and among Paducah’s downtown districts."
