As a beacon of HOPE, the clock tower on Historic City Hall is lit green every night. Green is the color to show compassion, empathy, and renewal. Louisville, let's inspire each other and the world by displaying green in our windows, on our porches, in our yards, and all over social media.
Spring is here and the green green grass of home is coming through to remind us of the everlasting renewal of life.

Many thanks to our friends in Anchorage for launching Louisville's bell-ringing and pot-banging initiative to show our solidarity, release frustration, and connect with our neighbors whilst practicing social distancing.
Mayor Fischer heard what they were doing and encouraged everyone in Louisville to join in the bell-ringing and pot-banging every evening at 7pm from your porches, balconies, and windows.
Councilwoman Sexton Smith grabbed her mother's dinner bell and rang it over the balcony of her apartment so the cars and barges in the river could hear the bell.

Census forms are arriving in the mail. Census data is used to determine how many representatives each state gets in Congress, how many districts each state has, and how much federal funding states and counties receive, in addition to other things.
You can go online and complete the census. You can also call 1-844-330-2020 to complete the survey over the phone as soon as you receive the invitation. The best way to avoid a visit from a census taker is to fill out the 2020 Census questionnaire online, by phone, or by mail as soon as you receive your invitation to participate. We urge you to do so by April 1, to limit person-to-person contact as the coronavirus continues to spread. The census website is here: https://my2020census.gov/.
Here’s the schedule, subject to change (like everything else these days).
- March 12-20 Invitations mailed
- March 16-24 Reminder letters sent
- March 26-April 3 Reminder postcards
- April 1 Census Day
- April 8-16 Hardcopy Census mailed
