LOUISVILLE — A $60 million center dedicated to Louisville native Muhammad Ali will be built at a site overlooking the Ohio River, according to a multimillion-dollar deal with the city announced Thursday.

        The new plans for the Ali center are a change from the original proposal, which placed the center downtown behind the Kentucky Center for the Arts.

        That spot had poor visibility and accessibility. “It would have been somewhat hidden ... from almost anywhere but the air,” Mayor Dave Armstrong said. The new center will be built atop a 500-space, five-level garage.

        Mr. Armstrong said the Ali Center will put Louisville on the “worldwide stage,” as a center for “cultural understanding and greater diversity.”

        The center is expected to draw 400,000 visitors a year.
