Does Your Non-Profit Seek Funding from D4?

As part of District 4’s ongoing efforts to support the community and ensure the success of local initiatives, we request that the Neighborhood Development Fund (NDF) Application—along with all required documentation—be submitted to the District 4 office at least 90 days prior to the scheduled event. This timeline helps ensure adequate review, approval, and coordination of resources.

At this time, District 4’s available NDF funding is limited due to commitments associated with the D4 Life Skills for Youth Initiative and other commitments. As a result, we are currently accepting applicants for FY27 funding needs for events or programs occurring after July 1, 2026. Applications for funding prior to that date may be subject to limited availability.

Thank you for your attention to this update and for your continued dedication to community‑driven efforts in District 4.

Please click here for more information about the NDF Application process.

If you need assistance or have questions regarding the submission process, please contact Taylore Bass at Taylore.Bass@louisvilleky.gov.

We Want To Spotlight You

The District 4 newsletter is here to celebrate and support every neighborhood in our community.

We want to spotlight you—your stories, your business, and the events that make District 4 vibrant. Our office is also happy to attend and engage with your events whenever possible.

As warmer weather arrives, the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) urges residents to protect themselves from tickborne illnesses—and to help improve local surveillance by submitting ticks they find. “Ticks are common in wooded, brushy and grassy areas, and even in backyards,” said Connie Mendel, director of LMPHW and chief health strategist. “In Kentucky, the most frequently reported tickborne diseases are Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) and ehrlichiosis. While most tick bites don’t lead to illness, these infections can cause serious health problems.” Be T-I-C-K smart T — Take precautions: Use insect repellent and wear protective clothing. I — Inspect: Check your body (and pets) for ticks after being outdoors. C - Carefully remove: Use tweezers to remove the tick close to the skin and clean the area. K — Keep watch: Monitor for fever, aches, or rashes, and seek medical care if symptoms appear. “While the majority of tick bites do not result in infections, prevention should be taken seriously because tickborne diseases can lead to some pretty significant health complications,” Mendel said. “We want people to live active lifestyles and enjoy the great outdoors, but we want them to do so safely and be tick aware.”   Help us track ticks: Spot a Tick and Share  Since 2022, more than 500 ticks have been identified and tested through LMPHW’s Spot a Tick and Share Program. To date, Lone Star ticks make up 77% of submissions, followed by American Dog ticks at 18%. A few ticks have tested positive for disease over the past 4 years, but more samples are needed for a clearer picture.  How to submit a tick Place the tick in an airtight container (not a plastic bag). Cover it with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer. Label the container with your name and contact information. Attach the submission form (available on louisvilleky.gov) to the container. Deliver to LMPHW, 400 E. Gray St., Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Protect yourself when enjoying the outdoors—and help keep our community safer by submitting any ticks you find. For more information about ticks, prevention tips and proper removal, visit LMPHW’s webpage.

Louisville Metro Public Works

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and this year’s message is clear: Put the Phone Away or Pay.

Distracted driving remains one of the most preventable dangers on our roadways. In 2023 alone, 3,275 lives were lost nationwide due to distraction-related crashes. Even a quick glance at your phone can take your eyes, hands, and attention off the road long enough to cause serious consequences.

In Louisville, this message is especially important as our Public Works crews work in and around traffic every day. Staying focused behind the wheel helps protect not only yourself, but also the people working to maintain and improve our streets.

We encourage everyone to take simple steps to drive distraction-free:

• Put your phone away before you start driving.
• If you must text or respond, pull over to a safe location and park first.
• Remember that distracted driving includes texting, social media, and any activity that takes your attention off the road.
• Use “Do Not Disturb,” silence notifications, or place your phone out of reach.
• Ask a passenger to be the “designated texter” if needed.
• Stay alert in work zones and around crews working near roadways.
• Speak up if you see unsafe behavior.

Distracted driving isn’t just about awareness — it’s about accountability. Choosing to stay focused can prevent crashes, protect lives, and keep our roads safer for everyone.

Take the pledge to make every trip a distraction-free trip.
