 During his weekly press conference Tuesday, Mayor Craig Greenberg said he was happy to report that Louisville Metro is ahead of schedule when it comes to recovering from this historic flood.
Recovery efforts have been focused along River Road, downtown, east of downtown and in the far southwest corner of the city. Public Works crews, along with a contracting company, have been working around the clock to clear flood debris, trash and mud from roads, sidewalks, parking lots and other public areas. Additionally, more than 300 volunteers showed up at Waterfront Park Saturday morning to help clear debris.
“I want to give a giant thanks to all of the volunteers that came out and to all of the incredibly hardworking public servants and contractors that we are using to help recover from this,” said Mayor Greenberg. “We have some major events coming up with the Kentucky Derby Festival at Waterfront Park, starting this weekend with the PNC Tour de Lou, which is an amazing bike race. I’m thrilled to report that event, along with all of the other Kentucky Derby Festival events, will be going on as planned, as scheduled thanks to this amazing recovery effort.”
United States Senator Mitch McConnell joined Tuesday's press event and acknowledged the swift cleanup response.
"It's been a remarkable team effort to get Kentucky ready for the Derby. Thank you for all the volunteers and all of the outstanding work that's been done," Senator McConnell said.
Louisville Metro agencies are also working to finalize a curbside debris pick up plan for residents impacted by recent weather events. More details are expected in the coming days. Residents are encouraged to wait to bring debris to the curb until service is scheduled.

If you believe the assessed value is not correct, The Jefferson County PVA wants you to know: You have a right to appeal.
The mission of the PVA is to provide fair and equitable assessments for all property owners in Jefferson County. PVA staff works hard to get the value of our property correct. However, the PVA does not know every detail or condition of your property. If you believe the PVA assessed value does not represent the fair-market value of your property, you
have a right to appeal your assessment.
