West Louisville Strategies for Success
The nine neighborhoods of west Louisville are home to hard-working, entrepreneurial people and some of the most historic, beautiful and important places in our city. Since 2014, these neighborhoods have seen an infusion of more than $1.4 billion of investment announced, completed or underway.
That’s due in large part to Mayor Greg Fischer’s commitment, since he first took office in 2011, to coordinate investments, as well as Louisville Metro Government resources and strategies, to help boost and revitalize historically disinvested neighborhoods in a sustainable, equitable way. This commitment and these investments have begun to address the needs of west Louisville residents and families, including increasing safety, improving neighborhood amenities and providing an attractive place to do business. But there is still significant work to be done.
Throughout 2022, Louisville Metro has been focused on continuing work to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, inject equity in every aspect of LMG operations, and improve social determinants of residents’ health – factors like age, race, economic opportunity, access to fresh and healthy food, and physical environment.
The document linked below details the holistic and equitable approach that Mayor Fischer’s team is taking, with myriad partners, to drive positive transformation in west Louisville.
