I attended the press conference today about the La Villa Lou initiative along the Preston Corridor. What I can say equivocally about it is that at no time was there ever anything stated about changing the name of any city along the corridor. This is an effort to unite as a community to promote economic development in one of the strongest thriving corridors in Louisville. These efforts will benefit everyone.
Pictures were taken prior to the Press conference during setup. It was a packed house with a sitting senator, three metro council members, Shopping Center partners, about 40 Area Business leaders and managing partners. Representatives from One Louisville, Economic Development, SBA, and Metro Immigration Initiatives were all represented. The Passport Challenge initiative was launched for business partnerships. Lynnview was recognized for being the first city on the corridor to become the home of a mural paid for by Metro Louisville that is a visual representation of business opportunities big and small by our neighbors and friends. It was and is a great time to be a part of the Preston Corridor.
