  • 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.

  • 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.
