All events will be an open forum style from 8am - 10am.

It is that time again for all Women Veterans to celebrate each other in the Capitol of the State of Kentucky. This is our second year and I can't wait to see my fellow Sisters In Arms. If you reside in or around the City of Louisville, there will be Motorcoaches leaving from the Veterans Womens Clinic on Newburg Road. Please register for the event and email me at orrja@yahoo.com if you will need a ride. There are 27,000 women in Kentucky that have served this country, and I would like to Thank You All For Your Service. SPREAD THE WORD AT HOME, CHURCH, COMMUNITY, AND ONLINE. WE NEED ALL OF OUR SISTERS TO BE RECOGNIZED.

Zoning Matters: Conversation with a City Planner (2024)

The Office of Planning’s Library Hours return in 2024! City Planners from Louisville Metro’s Office of Planning will be available to answer questions about zoning (What is zoning? Why does it matter?) and discuss the ongoing LDC Reform project, including Middle Housing. We want to hear about your neighborhood and discuss what the reform means for you!

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.
