 Believe it or not 1/3 of the wastewater in Louisville Metro flows through this 102 inch concrete sewer pipe built in 1942. Yes, it is old and our city is growing. This is a perfect example that our infastructure is in need of critical repair.
We sincerely apologize for the difficulty this is causing surrounding neighbors and area businesses. Fortunately we have talented, dedicated crew of MSD men and women working around the clock to fix the problem.
If you have questions about the project contact MSD at (502) 587-0603
customerrelations@louisvillemsd.org or Christa at (502) 574-1104.

It's always a pleasure to spend time with Dawne Gee.

 Louisville Metro Government Office
of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) is now accepting applications from
local non-profits for programs or activities funded by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for FY18 (June 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018).
HUD-funded grants include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG),
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS

no later than Jan. 1, 2018 – June 30, 2018. All funds must be expended by

Louisville Metro to help in their preparation of an application for
funding. The method with which to request technical assistance shall be
included as part of the request for funding applications. The funding
decision-making process will also be outlined in the request for funding

Work will get underway during the week of September 4, a week
earlier than previously planned, on a $630,000 package of safety improvements
for a section of Lexington Road. The earlier start on the installation of new
cross drains is to help ensure the project will |
be completed in time to avoid interfering with the October 21 Urban Bourbon Half Marathon that will pass through the area.
The Lexington Road segment between Payne Street and Grinstead Drive will be converted from the current design of two travel lanes in each direction to one travel lane in each direction plus dedicated turn lanes.
The new configuration is intended to improve traffic flow and reduce accidents as previously demonstrated by similar projects across Louisville. The road will be repaved and buffered bike lanes will be added on both sides. Drainage will also be improved.
The project is part of the 2015 Lexington Road Corridor Transportation Plan and the broader Move Louisville multi-modal transportation plan that seeks to improve all facets of the city's transportation network for all of its users. Learn more about the Lexington Road Safety Project.
 The USDA Natural
Resources Conservation Service, through their EQIP Program, is taking
applications for Seasonal High Tunnel Systems that allow for extending the
growing season of vegetable gardening operations. These plastic covered
systems are efforts by USDA and the Jefferson County Soil & Water
Conservation District to increase the seasonal production of locally grown
fruits and vegetables. The Soil and Water Conservation District received a
grant to help support the USDA effort by extending this opportunity to urban
gardeners, non-profits and churches.
For more information on the program and how to
apply, contact Kurt Mason @ (859) 490-0113 or kurt.mason@ky.usda.gov.
