WAL-MART, West Louisville wants you BACK!
West Louisville has over 60,000 residents, who need convenient, affordable options
for shopping. West Louisville residents need employment opportunities. And, West
Louisville residents pledge their support for the Wal-Mart Superstore #6391 at
West Broadway and 18th Street. Wal-Mart's decision to cancel plans for the new
supercenter leaves residents in West Louisville without access to affordable goods
and services that many other communities take for granted. West Louisville’s
residents already experience barriers to accessing healthy food, and so many were
anxiously awaiting the opening of a Walmart Supercenter in their community. West
Louisville residents who pledge their full support for the new Wal-Mart
Supercenter, respectfully ask that Wal-Mart reconsider their decision to cancel
building the facility at 18th and Broadway.
Louisville Metro Councilmembers Green, Woolridge, Downard and
Hamilton encourage the entire community to sign the petition asking Wal-Mart’s
president to reconsider developing the store proposed at this location.
You may view and sign the petition at

Rental Registry for rental properties in Metro Louisville is now up and running online The deadline to register property is March 1, 2017
A new Rental Registry for all rental property in Metro Louisville is now up and running online following the passage of an ordinance in September by the Louisville Metro Council. Effective March 1, 2017, all property located in Louisville Metro and occupied or offered for occupancy in exchange for money or any other consideration must be registered with Louisville Metro Government. Failure to register is subject to a fine up to $100 per day per housing unit. The registration calls for: · Rental property owners to include the rental unit street address. · List current contact information of the owner and managing operator. · New owners to register within thirty days of any ownership transfer. · Any change in contact information to be updated on the registry within thirty days of the change. Visit: https://www.louisvilleky.gov/government/codes-regulations, to establish an account and access the registry, or to get detailed information and instructions on registry requirements. Registration is free and will be monitored by the staff of Develop Louisville. The need for the Rental Registry was prompted after concerns were raised by code enforcement inspectors, citing the difficulty in finding a person who was responsible for the problem properties. Currently, some listings have only a Post Office Box number or LLC as contacts in the event of a violation.
It is important to remember, all rental property must be registered by March 1, 2017.
