My next 'Coffee With Your Councilman' will be Tuesday, January 27 at 9 a.m. at the Anchorage Middletown Fire & EMS station located at 9514 Featherbell Boulevard. I'll share the latest news from City Hall and answer any concerns or questions you have. I hope to see you on the 27th! If there is a guest you'd like to hear from at a future coffee meeting, please let me know.
Each week, the Metro Office of Planning creates a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These typically include requests for changes in zoning, conditional use permits, variances, landscape plans, and more. There is one case in this week's report involving property in our district, a request to create two tracts from one at 12214 Aiken Road. There is also a request about a half mile outside our district regarding a change in zoning at 115 Urton Lane. If you have questions or comments about either of these, please contact my office or the case manager listed in the report.
 'Another Way' participants collected 42 bags of trash from a wooded area off of Springhurst Boulevard.
In my December 19 newsletter, I shared some YTD data on the 'Another Way' program, a partnership between Goodwill Industries of Kentucky and Louisville Metro Government. A quick reminder how this program works - Goodwill staff visits high visibility locations throughout the city offering people the opportunity for work and a chance to get help with housing, career training, substance abuse, and more. This week, we saw this play out in District 17 as 'Another Way' participants collected more than 100 bags of trash and other items from two locations: one close to Springhurst Boulevard and another near Chamberlain Lane. I continue to be amazed at the strides this program has taken and appreciate the impact it has had in the lives of so many.
