- A local consumer reported a fake bank phone call to BBB. A scammer claiming to represent Chase Bank contacted the consumer’s mother and informed her that her savings account had been hacked and she needed to move her money to a secure account. This was a scam that cost the victim almost $25,000. BBB warns consumers to be wary of unsolicited phone calls. If in doubt, contact your financial institution directly.
-
A local consumer lost $6,000 to a Facebook cryptocurrency scam, believing she was investing money on the advice of a friend. However, the friend’s Facebook account had been hacked. BBB warns consumers of suspicious messages from Facebook friends, as this could be a sign of a hacked account. Also, any investment “opportunity” that promises immediate large returns is likely a scam.
-
BBB has received numerous reports of a bourbon scam affecting consumers in our area. Some have reported a scam website claiming to sell high-end liquors, while others have reported a Facebook page conducting the same scam. In all cases, victims never received their orders. BBB warns consumers to always check bbb.org for reviews and scam reports first before purchasing from a company, website, or social media account.
- BBB is receiving more reports of puppy scams involving Facebook groups and/or accounts claiming to sell purebred pups. However, victims never receive the animals and are typically scammed out of hundreds of dollars. BBB reminds consumers to always see an animal in person before purchasing, and to check a breeder’s rating and credentials.
- A local consumer reported a Facebook ad promoting 85% off Ariat shoes. The ad was a scam, and the consumer never received her order. BBB warns consumers that ads promising name brand or popular products at extremely reduced prices are likely a scam.
-
A scammer claiming to represent Spectrum called a local consumer to push a Spectrum/Target promotion that would reduce the consumer’s bill by 50%; however, the “offer” required purchasing and paying with Target gift cards. Never agree to pay a bill with a gift card; this is a scam.
- A local consumer was contacted by a scammer claiming that if the consumer agreed to put a company’s logo on their personal vehicle, they would receive $400 a month. The scammer then sent a check to the consumer to pay for the vehicle wrap. This is a fake check scam.
-
BBB continues to receive multiple consumer reports regarding Publisher’s Clearing House scams. The real Publisher’s Clearing House does not contact winners by phone or email, and any lottery or contest that requires consumers to pay money upfront in order to receive a cash prize is likely a scam.
-
BBB has received reports from consumers of online “boutiques” that are scamming victims out of money. Victims purchase items and never receive them and are unable to get refunds. BBB reminds consumers to always check a company’s profile at bbb.org before purchasing products or services.
- As we enter tournament season, BBB warns consumers to be wary of fake sports team merchandise scams. Scammers will often try to sell “autographed” or “game-used” items. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, and research the company before you purchase.
Neighborhood meeting for a proposed change in zoning from R-4 to C-1 to allow a 22,200 sf commercial center on property located at 12312 Taylorsville Road
Dear Neighbor:
We are writing to invite you to a meeting we have scheduled to present neighbors with our zone change and Detailed District Development Plan (DDDP) to allow a 22,200 sf commercial center to be located as above.
Accordingly, we filed a plan for pre-application review with Planning and Design Services (PDS) that was assigned case number 24-ZONEPA-0022 and case manager Dante St. Germain. The applicant is proposing to build a 1-story commercial center for retail and office/warehouse use (which will include an Anytime Fitness and a dance/cheerleading event business where events occur off-site). The parking provided is below the
maximum allowed. There will be one access to the site from Taylorsville Road. We would like to show and explain this plan to neighbors so that we might hear what thoughts, issues and concerns you may have.
In that regard, a meeting will be held on Monday, March 18, 2024, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at The Jeffersonian
located at 10617 Taylorsville Road, Jeffersontown, Kentucky.
Enclosed for your review are the following:
1. The development plan sheet
2. LOJIC site location zoning map sheet showing the location of the site
3. Detailed summary sheet of the project
4. Contact information sheet and Information on how to obtain case information online from
PDS’ online customer service portal
5. PDS’ “After the Neighborhood Meeting” sheet
If you are unable to attend the meeting, or have any questions or comments, please feel free to email or call me
at the number listed above.
We look forward to our opportunity to visit with you.
Sincerely,
Nichlas R. Pregliasco

LOUISVILLE (March 6, 2024) – As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, Louisville Metro Emergency Services announced it has added a new tool to its emergency response fleet. The new “Rapid Deployable Siren” was successfully tested today during the annual Statewide Tornado Drill.
The new outdoor siren is portable and can be used to alert the public of weather emergencies or public safety threats during large-scale events like Thunder Over Louisville, the Kentucky Derby and others. The siren lifts to a height of 30-feet to provide maximum coverage of the event area and sounds at 120 dB, resulting in the siren being heard within a ¾ mile sound radius.
Executive Director Jody Meiman is pleased to have this new asset, especially with the growing number of major events Louisville hosts each year. “This is another tool to help us communicate and protect the residents of and visitors to Louisville.”
Additional resources in Emergency Services’ response fleet include the Mobile Emergency Operations Center, Mass Casualty Bus, Communications on Wheels trailer, ambulances, and several other all-terrain vehicles.
Statewide Tornado Drill Results
Today at 10:07 a.m. MetroSafe activated all 136 outdoor warning sirens for the annual Statewide Tornado Drill. All 136 sirens, including the new portable siren, sounded successfully.
All sirens are intelligent and have the ability to report failures or faults to Emergency Services personnel. Sirens are tested on the second Tuesday of each month at noon and most have large battery backups in case of an outage. For severe weather, sirens are activated countywide and sound in three-minute bursts until the threat has passed or the warning has expired or been cancelled by the National Weather Service.
The next monthly siren test will be Tuesday, April 9, 2024, unless inclement weather is forecasted for that day. Emergency Services will notify the public in the event of a test cancellation.
Remember, outdoor sirens are designed to warn people outdoors to seek shelter immediately and are NOT designed to warn indoor inhabitants. For this reason, Emergency Services recommends residents sign up to receive LENSAlerts, the Louisville Emergency Services Notification System, or have a battery back-up weather alert radio to monitor and receive severe weather watches and warnings.

These conversations are part of the ongoing Land Development Code (LDC) Reform. The LDC Reform is an equity focused approach to revise the LDC consistently with Plan 2040 to allow for increased housing choices and opportunities in new and existing neighborhoods, to create procedures and regulations that are easier to use and increase the quality of life by reducing the concentration of environmental hazards near housing.
