The task force commissioned to plan a downtown entertainment district, which will effect Rupp, met Wednesday to discuss the project’s progress.

SPACE GROUP, an architectural firm, was selected Aug. 28 as the master planner for the Arena, Arts and Entertainment District Task Force.

Gary Bates, the group’s co-founder, will lead the project, according to the press release from the city.

The task force comprises 47 members and is still in the early stages of planning the district.

A final decision on how Rupp will be affected has not been made. The task force is still discussing all options as possibilities; whether Rupp will be renovated or a new arena will be built.

“All the options are on the table,” Jay Blanton, UK spokesman, said.

UK wants to keep options open and plans to continue “working with everyone to come out with a win-win for everyone,” Blanton said.
