Applications being accepted for
second cohort of city’s Entrée-preneurship Series
Free program for residents interested in the food service
industry
LOUISVILLE, KY. (August 15, 2018) — Mayor Greg
Fischer today announced that Louisville Forward’s Small Business Development
team is accepting applications for the second cohort of the city’s
Entrée-preneurship Series, a free program designed to foster the development of
new restaurateurs and food entrepreneurs.
The interactive 10-class series, originally called the Food
Entrepreneurship Series, will run from Sept. 8 to Dec. 1, and will be taught by
local industry-leading professionals. All
classes will meet at Chef Space, 1812 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd., on Saturdays from
8:30 – 11 a.m.
“Our first group of graduates showed passion and knowledge about the food
industry. Whether they were starting a new business, operating an existing
business or just sharpening their skills, this free program gave them the boost
they needed to take the next steps in defining their own success,” said Mayor
Fischer. “With the outpouring of interest, I’m pleased that we are able to
continue this program and support our food entrepreneurs who are setting the
stage for our city’s continued momentum in the food and beverage sector.”
The inaugural Food Entrepreneurship Series launched earlier this year and
graduated nine entrepreneurs with skills needed to start or grow their
businesses in Louisville’s food industry.
“This Series not only helped me further develop my business plan, it
gave me the tools, resources and connections to help me fulfill my purpose as a
recipe creator and healthy living educator,” said Jessica Taylor, a graduate of
the inaugural series and founder of Jessica Taylor New Living (@VeganNewLiving
on Instagram).
Registration is open, but space is limited. To participate, individuals
must be over 18 years of age, attend 9 of the 10 classes and be a Louisville
resident. There is no fee to participate in the series. Upon completion of the
program, participants will receive continued assistance and connections to
resources from Louisville Forward’s small business development team.

Get damaged garbage carts replaced.
It's free once a year if damage is shown.
A damaged garbage or recycling cart is bad for multiple
reasons. The damaged cart won't hold the garbage or recycling as well as it
should which can lead to litter and attract animals. Broken handles or wheels
also make it difficult and potentially dangerous for our Solid Waste Tippers to
lift and empty carts.
So let us know
if you have a damaged cart. Call MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000. Provide them with
your name, address and daytime phone number along with the serial number from
the cart and a description of the damage. Or complete this online form.

This week
Metro Public Works is highlighting sections of the Louisville Metro Code of
Ordinances that often come as a surprise to residents. They basically require
property owners and residents to keep the area around homes clean and free of
obstructions, from the center line of the street to the center line of any
adjacent alley.
§ 156.051 RESPONSIBILITY OF PERSONS.
(B) Sanitary condition.
(1)
Cleanliness. Every occupant of a structure or part thereof shall keep
that part of the structure or premises which that occupant occupies,
controls, or uses in a clean, safe and sanitary condition, and in the case of
a single-family structure, the owner shall keep the premises free of all
weeds...to the center line of such street, easement or alley as are
adjacent to or abut the premises.
That includes that patch of grass between the sidewalk and the
curb known as a verge.
What is a Right-of-Way Obstruction?
Any structure that may prevent or impede the full and free use
by the public of the entire sidewalk, street, alley, or public way (right of
way). Some examples of right-of-way obstructions: basketball
goals left on the curb line, concrete pyramids, piles of brush, items being
sold, political/advertising signs, trees, shrubs, retaining walls, cars
parked in the right of way, and any obstructions to cross visibility.
