Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky. It is considered the economic engine of the state. Louisville Metro is the city itself and the people who live, work and play here come from a number of surrounding counties on both sides of the Ohio River. We consider this “Kentuckiana” and we reference this area as the Greater Louisville region. Louisville Metro’s economy is driven by the companies located here, the visitors who come to our city, and the economic activity of our surrounding counties. Scott Washington Trimble Clark INDIANA Henry Oldham Floyd Shelby Harrison Jefferson Spencer Bullitt Meade Nelson KENTUCKY Hardin 3 Our History Louisville owes its growth to its strategic position on the Ohio River. At the base of the Falls of the Ohio, the only land impediment between the Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico, travelers were required to stop, remove their boats from the water and travel around the Falls to resume their trip. As people stopped to rest, Louisville became a port and businesses and opportunities soon began to grow. Louisville was founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark, who named the city in honor of King Louis XVI of France for his efforts during the revolutionary war. As time progressed, Louisville’s ideal location made it a hub for logistics, first with steamboats and today with international air travel from UPS Worldport. The first Kentucky Derby, the most exciting two minutes in sports, was first held in Louisville on May 17, 1875 and takes place the first Saturday in May each year. Louisville is also known as the home of the Louisville Slugger, humanitarian and World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali, the birthplace of President Abraham Lincoln and inventor Thomas Edison, and is also home to many corporate headquarters.

  • A 10-Year Perspective of the Merger of Louisville and Jefferson County, KY: Louisville Metro Vaults from 65Th Th to 18 Largest City in the Nation
    A 10-Year Perspective of the Merger of Louisville and Jefferson County, KY: Louisville Metro Vaults From 65th th to 18 Largest City in the Nation Jeff Wachter September, 2013 Over the past 50 years, the idea of merging a city with its neighboring or surrounding county has been contemplated in many American cities, voted upon in a few, and enacted in even fewer. The most prominent American mergers have been Jacksonville, FL; Indianapolis, IN; Nashville, TN; and Lexington, KY. Other cities—including Pittsburgh, PA and Memphis, TN— have attempted mergers, but failed at various stages in the process. City/county consolidation has been a controversial topic, with advocates and opponents pointing to different metrics that support their expectations for the consequences of a merger. Louisville, KY, which merged with Jefferson County on January 1st, 2003, is the most recent example of a city/county consolidation executed by a major American city. This report examines how Louisville Metro has performed over the past decade since the merger took effect by analyzing the city’s economy, population, government spending and efficiency, and public opinion about the merger. In the late 1990s, business and political leaders came together in an attempt to address some of the issues facing the Louisville region, including a long declining population and tax- base, escalating government spending, and multiple economic development organizations fighting to recruit the same businesses (often to the detriment of the greater Louisville region at- large). These leaders determined that a merger of the Louisville and Jefferson County governments was in the best interests of the region, despite the contentious nature of merger debates.

  • What Is Early Childhood Education?
    preface I became a teacher of young children many years ago, when the field of early childhood education was quite different from what it is today. After graduating from college with an English degree, I got a job as a preschool teacher in a child care center. I will never forget my first day of teaching. One reason I remember it so well is that it was so long! Feeling completely incompetent, I seriously thought about not going back the next day. Then I realized that although I had a choice not to return, the children did not. They deserved a better teacher than I was at that time. As a result, I continued teaching, went back to school, and set out to learn as much as possible about child development and how best to teach young children. And I have been learning ever since. Why I Wrote This Book When I first began teaching, I realized that were too many things I didn’t know about child development, how and what to teach, how to communicate with families, how to positively guide children’s behavior—the list goes on and on. I wrote this book because I wanted to help ensure that every child has a qualified teacher from day one. In this book I share what I have learned about the competence of young children, their desire to learn engaging, challenging curriculum content, and effective ways of teaching. To achieve their potential, children need and deserve highly competent, well-educated teach- ers. My hope is that teachers, whether beginning their professional journey or continuing their professional development, will embrace new knowledge as well as the enduring val- ues of early childhood education, and encounter the sheer joy of teaching young children.

  • LOUISVILLE DOWNTOWN Revitalization Team ACTION PLAN
    LOUISVILLE DOWNTOWN Revitalization Team ACTION PLAN 1 FOREWORD This Action Plan showcases the work of a 100+ member team of Louisvillians committed to accelerating downtown Louisville’s recovery following 15 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, including social justice protests, both of which changed our collective lives in downtown. On January 14, 2021, Mayor Greg Fischer announced the creation of the Downtown Revitalization Team at his annual State of the City address, laying out some of the hopes, challenges, and opportunities in the new year ahead. Mayor Fischer called on Louisvillians to reimagine, revitalize, and restore downtown to a thriving and inclusive place for residents, employers, and tourists. The Team is a diverse group of business owners, industry leaders, residents, and community partners who came together in six committees over the course of six months to tackle some of downtown’s most challenging problems. After agreeing to a charter which guided the formation of this Action Plan, committees met at least twice a month, first in small break out groups to discuss issues ranging from public safety, vacant and underutilized office space, tourism, arts & culture, diversity, equity & inclusion, small businesses, downtown residents, and the messaging and perception of downtown. During the second monthly meetings, committee leaders shared the ideas that had emerged during committee discussion, committee goals, and the action steps needed to be taken to move from concept to reality. As the depth of work increased, so did the cross-collaboration across committees, which was anchored by the guidance of the project Steering Committee, a group of twelve dedicated community leaders.

  • AP-05 Executive Summary
    AP-05 Executive Summary Introduction Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government (Louisville Metro) is a consolidated city/county government with an estimated population of 755,809 (2015 American Community Survey 5-year estimate). Louisville Metro participates in four U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). • CDBG funds are used to contribute to the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. • HOME funds are used for a wide range of activities including acquiring, developing, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. • ESG funds are used to: engage homeless individuals and families living on the street; improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families; operate shelters; provide essential services to shelter residents; rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families; and prevent homelessness. • HOPWA funds provide housing assistance and related supportive services for low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. HUD requires that local jurisdictions receiving entitlement funds complete a Consolidated Plan every three to five years that describes the jurisdiction’s affordable housing and community development priorities and multiyear goals, based on a needs assessment and market condition analysis. The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to provide guidance for decisions regarding the use of these federal resources. Louisville Metro’s current Consolidated Plan was approved by HUD on July 22, 2015 and covers the period from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2020.
