A fun – and free – family event will take place on the banks of the Ohio
River in southwest Louisville on Saturday, June 17 as Riverside, the
Farnsley-Moremen Landing hosts “Family Farm and Forage Day” from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. The event will explore historic and present-day farming with a variety of
children’s activities, workshops, talks and booths. “This is a terrific family event that combines fun and learning,”
said Mayor Greg Fischer. “Beyond the activities of the event itself, I urge
citizens from all over the community to come out and see some of the great
things that southwest Louisville has to offer.” This event is held in partnership with the Jefferson County Cooperative Extension Service and the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. Other sponsors include Louisville Gas & Electric, Jefferson County Farm Bureau, the Future Farmers of America, the Louisville Water Co. and 4-H.

Over the last several months you have heard the background, drivers, risks, and solutions for our public health and safety needs - including a presentation at the Southwest Library on April 17, 2017. It is especially important for constituents with experience with the risk areas to provide input on the Critical Repair and Reinvestment Plan, since many of you have firsthand knowledge of these risks, and can provide valuable credibility to the scale of the solutions that must be utilized to reduce the risk to human health and safety in Louisville Metro. Flooded roadways, destroyed homes and raw sewage overflows are reminders that our city’s ability to thrive depends on the most basic public health and safety protection systems – wastewater, stormwater and flood protection. MSD has completed an extensive analysis of these systems, and input is needed from the community to determine how soon the critical projects should be completed. While Louisville can no longer avoid renewing and restoring its vital systems, the difficult truth is the solutions come with a price tag of $4.3 billion over the next 20 years. This includes almost $500 million to finish the remaining Consent Decree projects to meet the federal order to reduce sewer overflows. Recognizing the magnitude of the impact on ratepayers and the community, MSD is embarking on a wide-reaching community conversation. Dialogue is underway through presentations with community groups, business leaders, neighborhood associations, and faith-based organizations. A variety of public-friendly resources are also available to convey the complex message of necessary investments, to help citizens arrive at informed opinions, and to encourage input on the timing of these investments. A dedicated website can be found at http://www.louisvillemsd.org/CriticalRepairPlan that includes: · A video message offering an overview of the challenge and the opportunity to engage · Brief summaries of the six categories of risk to public health and safety including local pictures of real consequences · Links to the full Critical Repair & Reinvestment Plan for review (hard copies of Volume 1 have also been distributed to every public library in the county through March 1) · A comment form to provide direct input on the Plan (http://louisvillemsd.org/community-input-form)
Your assistance in sharing this information with those in your personal and professional networks will go a long way toward ensuring a representative mix of voices are included. Louisville can no longer avoid investing in public health and safety systems, and informing the public on the risks and solutions is critical. The MSD team is committed to continued community engagement. If you are involved with a group that would like more information from us, please let us know. Thanks so much for your continued partnership as we work to protect public health and safety, and achieve safe, clean waterways.
