Please help me welcome Marshalls to their new Valley Station home at Dixie Valley Center on 10427 Dixie Highway.
The new store hopes to gain some new shoppers and retain their loyal customers!
This is a great addition to our growing community so please show your support!
As a part of the Dixie Highway Master Plan, adopted by the Louisville Metro Plan Commission earlier this year, the development of new Town Centers has been proposed. The location of the proposed Town Centers are as follows:
- Between Wilson Avenue and Oak Street
- Between I-264 and Gagel Avenue
- Near Lower Hunters Trace
- Near Valley Station Road
- Between I-264 to Leroy Street (Existing Town Center)
The proposed Town Centers intend to have distinct character with different land uses along Dixie Highway to enhance aesthetic appeal as well as to promote commerce and growth to the community.
"The future of Dixie Highway is a vision that celebrates the legacy of this historic corridor through the preservation and enhancement of investment in both public infrastructure and private assets. We envision enhancements to Dixie Highway that will assure its success as a regional commercial corridor with unified but distinct character zones that are functional and safe for all users. With these enhancements, Dixie Highway will serve the residents of not only southwest Louisville, but also provide mobility for people and commerce in the region."
 The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 Office advises motorists of construction work on KY 841 (Gene Snyder Freeway) in Jefferson County. Contract crews will begin work this week to remove and replace several sections of concrete pavement that have settled over the years resulting in an uneven driving surface.
Where: Stone Street Road and Interstate 65 (mile points 3.0 to 10.0)
When: October 11th-14th weekend lane closures will also be necessary.
The actual starting date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Dial 511 or log on to 511.ky.gov for the latest in traffic and travel information in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You can also get traffic information for the District 5 counties at www.facebook.com/KYTCDistrict5.

Keller is a two-year-old Whipper/Jack Russell Terrier mix. He likes to run and has a sleek look that makes him beautiful to watch. He’ll thrive in a household with a fenced yard. He’s curious and one volunteer thinks Keller has a thirst for knowledge. He’s a bit of a serious sort, not a silly, goofball of a dog. He sort of looked askew at a dog who came up to him and wanted to play. He wasn’t aggressive, he just seemed a little confused by what he considered silly behavior. Keller is more of an in-charge kind of guy. While Louisville Metro Animal Services cannot guarantee an animal is housebroken, Keller waits until he is outside on grass to relieve himself, which is a good sign.
You can visit Keller at the Animal House Adoption Center, 3516 Newburg Road or contact LMAS at (502) 473-PETS (7387) or visit our website, www.louisvilleky.gov/animalservices, for more information.
