I wanted to send a reminder about my coffee meeting on Monday, June 9. We'll meet in the Middletown Library, 12556 Shelbyville Road, at 9 a.m. State Representative Jason Nemes will be our guest. This will be a great opportunity to hear what's happening in Frankfort and ask any questions that might be better answered by a state legislator. I'll also bring you up to speed on the city's budget process as we head into the final few weeks before we approve an amended budget in late June. I hope to see you June 9!
Due to regular committee meetings also being held, we'll have slightly fewer budget hearings next week. You can find more detail on each department below, a comment form, and more budget information here.
- Technology Services – Monday from 3 to 4 p.m.
- Office of Housing and Community Development – Monday from 4 to 5 p.m.
- Public Health and Wellness – Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m.
This year's Cultural Pass offers young people and their families free access to more than 50 venues beginning tomorrow through August 10. Passholders receive free admission to one event hosted by each participating partner. An accompanying guardian of those under 18 years of age also receives free admission. Participating organizations/venues cover a variety of interests such as Actors Theatre of Louisville, Blackacre Conservancy, the Geeva Arts Festival (held in District 17), Kentucky Science Center, and the Louisville Zoo. Click here for information on registration, the new Cultural Pass app, and more.
The Louisville Zoo and Louisville Orchestra are partnering once again to bring ROARchestra to the zoo. The concerts scheduled this summer will be held July 5 and July 19. The first one is titled The Spirit of America and will feature works that reflect the heart and soul of American culture. The second performance will have a western theme that celebrates the spirit of the American frontier.
The zoo opens at 7 p.m. for these events, giving guests an hour and a half to explore the zoo or get settled in the Oasis Field. Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for children between the ages of three and 11. Children two and under are free. Click here to purchase tickets or for more information.
Each week, the Metro Office of Planning creates a report listing all new land use cases in Jefferson County. These can include requests for changes in zoning, variances, conditional use permits, and more. There isn't a project in District 17 listed in this week's report, though there is one just across Shelbyville Road from our district. That application is for a revised district development plan (and an accompanying waiver regarding the scenic corridor buffer) to allow the construction of a credit union at 115 Juneau Drive. Please use the link above for more information.
The Louisville Independent Business Alliance (LIBA) will host its annual Buy Local Fair on Sunday, June 8 from noon to 6 p.m. at Lynn Family Stadium in the Fan Zone. The event includes booths from local retailers, music, food, a kid's fun zone, and much more. Admission is free though onsite lot parking is $10 (part of which supports LIBA and the Buy Local cause).
