In April, The Kentucky Division of Waste Management completed their review of the Corrective Action Plan, including the comments submitted on behalf of ExxonMobil, Maxus Energy, Occidental, and Geif Inc. regarding the former Black Leaf Chemical Site.
The Corrective Action Plan calls for the clean-up of the BlackLeaf Chemical site in coordination with all involved parties, which includes the removal and replacement of contaminated soil among other remedies.
This issue is ongoing and our office is committed to keeping our community apprised of developments as they occur. In the coming months, we will hold a community meeting to discuss the current status. Details of that meeting will be made available soon in our eNewsletter.
For any questions, please call the District 6 office at 574-1106.
 The Toonerville Trolley Neighborhood Association (TTNA) and District 6 Councilman David James are proud to again present the 6th Annual Old Louisville Springfest on Friday May 19th from 4 to 9pm (eastern), Saturday May 20th from 10am to 9pm and are now expanding to Sunday May 21st from noon to 6pm.
Springfest is held on First Street and Ormsby Avenue in historic Old Louisville and presents a wonderfully eclectic selection of vendors, artists, non-profit organizations, the Kosair Charities Kidzone (Saturday from noon-6pm) and tasty festival food choices and local food trucks.
For the adults, cocktails, live music and the now famous bourbon slushes will also be on tap. Springfest is again honored to present in concert one of the hottest (and most creative) local bands, In Lightening! The band will perform Saturday from 7-9pm.
“This is another great opportunity to come explore Old Louisville. I encourage everyone to come out, kick back and enjoy themselves as we shake off winter and welcome the new season,” says Councilman David James (D-6). “The organizers of Springfest have combined entertainment, fun and the uniqueness of Old Louisville as the perfect way to enjoy the weekend.”
