 Jon Pilbean with Metro Homeless Services speaks at a recent coffee meeting.
I apologize for the late notice, but the 'Coffee With Your Councilman' scheduled for Monday, April 21 has been moved to Thursday, April 24. We will meet at MozzaPi located at 12102 La Grange Road rather than the Northeast Regional Library. The meeting will begin at 9 a.m.
When: Thursday, April 24 at 9 a.m.
Where: MozzaPi, 12102 La Grange Road
Layla George, our scheduled guest for this month's coffee meeting, is unable to join us on the new date. However, the Belvedere Project is an important one, so I'll work to get her on the agenda for a future meeting. For Thursday, I look forward to sharing the latest news from City Hall and answering any questions or concerns from those in attendance. Hope to see you then!
Mayor Craig Greenberg will present his recommended FY26 budget to the Metro Council on Thursday at 4 p.m. in Metro Council Chambers. For those who are interested in what this budget will look like but are unable to attend in person, the meeting will be broadcast live and streamed online as described above.

Each week, the Metro Office of Planning creates a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These can include requests for changes in zoning, conditional use permits, variances, landscape plans, and more. There are two projects in this week's report tied to property in District 17. One is related to a 7 Brew Coffee to be located at 10013 Brownsboro Road. The request includes the drive-thru coffee shop, a cooler/storage structure, landscaping, a dumpster enclosure, etc. The other project involves updating the signage for a Verizon store located at 4830 Norton Healthcare Boulevard. If you have any questions, please contact the case manager for each proposal at zach.schwager@louisvilleky.gov or drake.watson@louisvilleky.gov, respectively.
If you've done some spring cleaning recently that included sifting through a medicine cabinet, you'll have an opportunity tomorrow to properly dispose of things you might have come across like prescription drugs, inhalers, EpiPens, needles (capped), patches and more. There will be eleven locations across Louisville accepting items from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The most easily accessible places for District 17 residents are listed below. For more information, click here. (The link says the next Take Back Day is April 26, but LMPD moved its event up a week due to Kentucky Derby Festival activities.)
- Norton Healthcare – 9880 Angies Way
- Kroger – 12501 Shelbyville Road
- Kroger – 2219 Holiday Manor
- Walgreens – 12101 Shelbyville Road
Now that temperatures are trending a little warmer, Public Works can continue working on paving projects planned for 2024-25. There are several scheduled for District 17 this spring, and I will share the timeline for those as soon as I get that information from Public Works. There is one upcoming project just outside our district that might interest some of you. Factory Lane from La Grange Road to Terra Crossing Boulevard will be resurfaced soon, weather permitting. I'll be meeting with Public Works in a month or so to discuss paving needs in the district for this coming fiscal year. If you have questions about a road near you, don't hesitate to call or email my office.
