Louisville Metro Council and Develop Louisville initiated the Lexington Road land use and zoning study to make recommendations for the future land uses for the properties along the Irish Hill corridor. The study builds upon and will update the 2002 Irish Hill Neighborhood Plan. The boundaries for this study include an area along Lexington Road between Baxter Avenue and the easternmost crossing of Beargrass Creek. The Neighborhood Plan recommended a further analysis of the land uses and zoning along the corridor and this effort implements that recommendation. The land use and zoning study and the subsequent approval process will take place over the summer of 2017.
A Neighborhood Advisory Committee was recommended by me and Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith, and appointed by Mayor Fischer. The study meetings and times are as follows:
-
Tuesday, June 13, 2017 from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM (This meeting is designed for public input)
- Tuesday, June 20, 2017 from 6:00 PM until 7:30 PM
All meetings will be held at the Commonwealth Theatre Center, 1123 Payne Street, Louisville, KY 40204, and the public is invited and encouraged to attend.

Louisville has a new Farmers Market Association (LFMA). The purpose of the new association is to support farmers markets, farmers and local food producers to promote access to a healthy and sustainable food system. LFMA does this by providing assistance such as marketing, financial advice, vendor and volunteer recruitment to increase the capacity of farmers markets. It also helps to facilitate better access to healthy fruits and vegetables for everyone by helping the markets support SNAP (food stamps) participants through the Double Dollars Program and Free EBT Equipment and seniors through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
There is also now a new Guide to Local Food Resources that provides a map and list of all of Louisville’s farmers markets, Fresh Stop markets and Healthy Corner Stores. Here’s a link to it: https://louisvilleky.gov/sites/default/files/final_printed_lfma_local_food_resource_guide.pdf
