 Share your thoughts!
The Office for Immigrant Affairs and the Office of Strategic Initiatives have partnered with members of Louisville’s Hispanic community to explore meaningful ways to honor and uplift the rich cultural contributions that thrive along the South Preston Highway corridor. Much like iconic neighborhoods across the country—such as Little Italy, Chinatown, and Little Havana—this area is a vibrant hub of Hispanic life, heritage, and community spirit.
We are in the early stages of shaping how we celebrate and recognize this special part of our city. As part of this effort, we’re inviting all Louisvillians to help us choose an honorary neighborhood name that reflects the heart and soul of the community.
Your voice matters! Click the button below to vote, share your ideas, and be part of this exciting journey to honor and elevate the cultural legacy of Louisville’s Hispanic corridor.
Let’s celebrate together—¡Vamos Louisville!
