Elizabethtown Renaissance Associates, LLC was founded in 2014 by Kevin Addington, Ben LaRue, and Carl Swope.  We saw an opportunity to jump-start our downtown revitalization program after the positive change in the local laws regulating alcohol.

Our partnership was formed out of a common vision that we share:  We want Etown to be the best place to live, work, and play in Kentucky. 

 Our secondary objective has been to make Etown a place that people of all ages would want to live. Especially, to bring young people back to the area.

We believe in patient capital investment for the long-term betterment of the community.  We love nothing better than taking an old tired building like the Stewart Opera House and renovating and lovingly restoring it into the new Impellizzeri’s building.

 Our projects have all been designed to take an old space and make it new again for the community.
