I-Move Weekend Report: Lane closure and rest area closure planned on I-71 southbound this weekend

 

 

Traffic will be impacted between the rest area and Moser Farm Road


The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet continues to make progress on the I-Move Kentucky project as crews work in several areas of I-71, I-64 and I-265. Paving work will require a lane closure on I-71 southbound and the closure of the I-71 southbound rest area at mile point 13 this weekend.

 

On Friday at 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, the rest area on I-71 southbound at mile point 13 will be closed.

On Friday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday, paving work on I-71 southbound will require traffic to be reduced by one lane. The lane closure will begin near the rest area at mile point 13 and continue to Moser Farm Road at mile point 11.8.

Work schedules may be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen delays. Drivers should be cautious when traveling through active construction areas. Signage and flaggers will be in place to alert drivers of lane closures and construction zones.

New $2.2 million initiative aims to help COVID-impacted small businesses regain profitability, prepare for sustainable growth

 

City enters agreement with LHOME to assist businesses in west Louisville, Smoketown and Shelby Park

LOUISVILLE, KY (October 5, 2021) – Louisville Metro Government has entered into an agreement with LHOME, Louisville’s Intentionally Inclusive Lender, to administer a $2.2 million loan fund to assist small businesses in Smoketown, Shelby Park and the nine west Louisville neighborhoods that have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The funds have been made available through federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars for LHOME’s Back to Business initiative. The program offers free business coaching and affordable loans, with priority given to businesses owned by minorities, women, and those with disabilities.

“Early last year, Louisville Metro committed to supporting small businesses struggling through the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing our intentionality around investing in places and people who lack access to capital and other resources due to the impacts of disinvestment and discriminatory practices like redlining. We are happy to work with LHOME, a great community partner, as they help businesses return to their pre-pandemic profitability and set them on a path of growth,” said Mayor Greg Fischer.

Through the Back to Business initiative, businesses will start by working with a small business coach to determine business needs and eligibility; the LHOME coach will work with businesses to collect or produce all the necessary information and paperwork to apply for a loan. Eligible businesses could receive a maximum loan of $150,000, up to $50,000 of which may be forgivable. The amount of the loan and terms will be variable depending on an individual business’ needs. Businesses that are not eligible may qualify for other LHOME programs, and any small business in Jefferson County that is still struggling to regain pre-pandemic results is encouraged to contact LHOME.

“I am very excited LHOME is launching the Back to Business loan program. The pandemic has stressed and stretched small businesses,” said Adam Hall, LHOME’s board chair. “This loan fund will contribute to a thriving economic infrastructure in Louisville, getting vulnerable business back to their pre-pandemic success.”

LHOME worked with the Louisville Urban League and A Path Forward to design the program.

Sadiqa Reynolds, President & CEO of the Louisville Urban League shared, “The League and our Path Forward partners have been advocating since the summer of 2020 for Louisville Metro Government to direct resources to businesses who have been historically redlined out of opportunity. This Back to Business opportunity is a clear response to that call, and another impactful investment from Louisville Metro Government towards that same end. We are encouraged to see LHOME launch its most flexible and responsive product to date through this program."

Small businesses, for the purposes of this fund, are defined as businesses with fewer than 300 employees and less than $20 million in average annual revenue. To be eligible, applicants must:

  • Have an established business that was operating prior to March 1, 2020;
  • Be the business owner or a majority partner;
  • Have a documented loss of income directly related to COVID-19 pandemic;
  • Demonstrate how this coaching and funding will help reestablish and/or grow the business;
  • Have a bank account; and
  • Be at least 18 years of age and have a state-issued ID.

Funds must be used for working capital (wages, mortgage/rent, supplies, utilities, etc.), inventory, vendor-installed equipment, and other equipment (computers, kitchen equipment/appliances, etc.).

Businesses should visit https://www.lhomeky.org/b2b to fill out the contact form and answer eligibility questions.

In addition to this $2.2 million fund, Louisville Metro has administered nearly $30 million in loans and grants to 894 small businesses for COVID-19 relief and assistance. More information can be found here: https://louisvilleky.gov/government/louisville-forward/covid-19-relief-grants-and-loans.


LMAS Celebrates Adopt-ober with Free Dog Crates Included with Every Large-Breed Dog Adoption

 

Agency seeks to raise awareness of Adopt-A-Shelter Dog Month and number of large breeds in shelter, sets goal of finding homes for 100 by October 31st

 

LOUISVILLE, KY (October 4, 2021) – In recognition of October being Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog-Month, Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) sets a goal of 100 large-breed dog adoptions by Oct. 31st, with their adopters receiving a free dog crate for their new, four-legged companion. The dog crates, each with an estimated value of $70, were paid for by the official fundraising entity for LMAS, the non-profit organization, the Friends of Metro Animal Services (FOMAS).

 

“We want to make sure when a family welcomes a shelter pet into their home, they are set up for success so that pet doesn’t get returned to the shelter,” said Cathy Zion, FOMAS Board Chairperson. “Dog crates are great for the adjustment period and beyond, and signals to a new pet that they’ll always have space that’s their own.”

 

In addition to funding the dog crate giveaway, FOMAS also supports the Pay It Forward Free Adoptions (PIF) Program, which allows LMAS to waive adoption fees for adult dogs, 40lbs. or more. FOMAS funds the PIF program through fundraisers and public donations. Since its inception in January 2017, the PIF program which never expires, has found homes for thousands of larger breed dogs that entered the LMAS shelter.

 

“Most adopters are looking for popular small breeds and puppies, and so they often overlook large breed dogs Many times, families are not completely opposed to adopting a large breed, they just had never considered giving one a home,” said Teeya Barnes, LMAS public information specialist. “The PIF program gives our adoption coordinators an opportunity to share with potential adopters, the plight of large breed dogs in local animal shelters. Waiving the adoption fee and including a free crate is great incentive for considering welcoming a large breed dog into the family.”

 

The first few days in a new home can be stressful for a rescue dog, who must adjust to new people, a new environment, and a new routine. Gifting dog crates to newly adopted pets provides a place to retreat, where they will feel safe. Additional benefits of dog crates include being a great tool for house-training a puppy or new pet, a place to relax, sleep or nap; and can keep dogs out of mischief, when left unsupervised. Crates are also perfect for travel and trips to the veterinarian office.

 

Adopters of large breed dogs, 40lbs. or more, will not pay an adoption fee, thanks to FOMAS and the PIF Program however, donations are always appreciated.  Spay-Neuter, microchip and vaccinations are included.  The dog crate giveaway ends Oct. 31st, or when supplies run out. LMAS also has an Adopt-ober BOGO Kitten Special for a $25 donation, which also includes spay-neuter, microchip, and vaccinations.

 

LMAS’ Animal House Adoption Center is located at 3516 Newburg Road. Walk-ins are welcome from 12-6pm daily. Adoption fees are waived but there is still a review and approval process. Jefferson County residents must also purchase a one-year, renewable pet license - a requirement of the Louisville Animal Ordinance.

 

For more information about PIF adoptions and LMAS’ other adoption programs, and to view adoptable pets or complete an adoption application, visit louisvilleky.gov/animalservices.

For more information about FOMAS or to make a donation to the PIF program, visit fomaslou.org.         

 

 

About LMAS: Louisville Metro Animal Services operates the city’s only open intake shelter, that for the fourth consecutive year, has not euthanized any pets for lack of time or space. The Harshaw Family Foundation Animal Shelter opened in 2020, creating one campus for all metro animal-related services. In addition to animal control, licensing and microchipping, LMAS offers free adoptions for certain shelter pets through the Pay It Forward Program, that is supported by the non-profit Friends of Metro Animal Services and public donations.

About FOMAS: Formed in 2009 as the 501(c)(3) non-profit fundraising entity for Louisville Metro Animal Services. FOMAS encourages individual, business and corporate donations to support LMAS’ Pay It Forward Free Adoptions Program as well as programs and services critical to the care of incoming stray animals.
