As Mayor, it is a privilege for me to have this opportunity to tell you about Louisville. Louisville is a place where North meets South and East meets West, so we pride ourselves on having something for everyone. Long known as a world-class city, Louisville has taken its place among the top 20 cities in the United States. We are proud that our community has been recognized in many ways, including being named one of the 10 safest large cities in America and rated as one of the best 100 communities for young people! We are centrally located and easy to reach. We are a day’s drive away, or a short ﬂight from more than half of this country’s population. From our downtown’s newest entertainment destination, 4th Street Live!, and the Muhammad Ali Center, to the Louisville Slugger Museum and world-renowned Churchill Downs, there are many ways to enjoy Louisville. We have a world-class Zoo with a one-of-a-kind gorilla habitat, Slugger Field with AAA baseball and an exciting downtown arena scheduled to open in 2010. We have countless historic neighborhoods and architectural gems that show how Louisville embraces its past and preserves it for others to enjoy. Louisville is a place where a two-minute horse race is the inspiration for a two-week citywide celebration… where 11 herbs and spices can build the world’s largest restaurant system… where a small-time woodworking shop can grow into the most renowned baseball bat maker in the world… and it’s a place that can create the nation’s largest urban parks project, the City of Parks. I hope you will take advantage of all that we have to oﬀer and consider calling Louisville “home.” Sincerely,

The Louisville area has always been known by the locals as a great place to live. Its many neighborhoods from urban to rural provide many opportunities and choices for living. In fact, before moving to our beautiful community, you may be wondering what the current state of the housing market looks like in Louisville. Rest assured with a historically stable housing market that Louisville has not experienced the extreme swing in prices that many cities across the country are currently working through. Results from a study by the Property Value Administrator have shown that property values in Louisville are still increasing while the prices of homes in many other cities across the country have been declining. Foreclosures are also very low in the Louisville area proving that you will have a protected investment in Louisville’s real estate and your future home. Whether you choose to live in one of the Louisville areas outstanding new or existing neighborhoods you will fall in love with our community. Your many options of aﬀordable homes will allow you to live near where you work and shop. In addition, with the recent Green Build Kentucky Program, you will be able to buy a new home with enhanced energy eﬃciency and environmentally friendly features. We are convinced that once you visit you will want to become a resident. Sincerely,

Charles J. Kavanaugh Executive Vice President Home Builders Association of Louisville

Although a friendly debate continues over the proper pronunciation of our city’s name, one thing many people agree on is Louisville’s emergence as one of America’s most dynamic urban communities.

There’s a place... where the ideal lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of is closer than you think. It’s a place where you can settle down and get-up-and-go at the same time. It’s a place full of surprises and possibilities.

But, it’s the future of the area that gives newcomers plenty of reasons to be excited about living here.

Now is an Exciting Time to Live in Greater Louisville! And, It Just Keeps Getting Better. Now, more than ever, is a great time to move to Greater Louisville. Revitalized neighborhoods and beautiful new residential developments oﬀer a wealth of aﬀordable homeownership possibilities throughout the area. With $1.6 billion in construction projects planned or underway, the burgeoning developments in the heart of Louisville’s downtown demonstrate the community’s commitment to fostering cultural, economic and business growth. Louisville’s “greenprint” is growing as well through the City of Parks initiative, one of the largest urban parks expansion projects in America. This enthusiasm for enhancing Greater Louisville is shared by a diverse population of residents who value the area’s natural beauty, central location and rich historic traditions, as well as the promising excitement of its future.

Greater Louisville – Making You Feel Right at Home. Greater Louisville oﬀers the hospitality of a region that greets new residents like old friends. Its open arms extend well beyond the city limits, into vibrant communities in surrounding areas that contribute to its welcoming embrace. Here in Greater Louisville, new friendships are formed and ideal lifestyles are realized. There’s a unique energy throughout the area that ﬂows as freely as the nearby Ohio River. It’s driven by the enthusiasm of a community of neighbors who are proud of where they live and who are investing time, money and energy into making it even better. Greater Louisville is home to cutting edge technology, a vibrant arts community, plenty of beautiful green spaces and numerous opportunities to learn, grow and have fun. It’s simply a wonderful place to plant roots, start a business and enjoy the “hometown” feeling that is shared by those of us who were born and raised here, as well as those who’ve just relocated to the area. As your new neighbors, we hope you’ve had a chance to experience our unique hospitality that sets us apart from many other metropolitan areas.

Louisville is Making Headlines! Louisville is making headlines across the country for its quality of life and unique cultural offerings. Last fall, Louisville was named by Resident magazine as “One of the 11 Great Places to Live.” In addition, MSNBC named Louisville fifth on its list of the “10 Most Underrated U.S. Cities.” Louisville has also been listed in the “100 Best Communities for Young People” by America’s Promise Alliance for three years in a row. In addition, it has been named one of the Safest Large Cities in the United States by the Crime in Metropolitan America Report published by CQ Press. Greater Louisville has recently been profiled for its innovative initiatives and quality of life features in prominent media outlets, including USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Denver Post, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Miami Herald, Southern Living and US Airways, just to name a few. In February of 2008 the courageous spirit of one local family and the generosity of the Louisville community were highlighted in a two-hour episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on ABC. Louisville also was recently rated the “Most Livable Large City in America” according to the U.S. Conference of Mayors. 2008/2009 l 11

Education The Greater Louisville area has a full range of educational options – you can learn your ABCs, put a P.H and D behind your name when you earn a graduate degree, or learn the Ps and Qs of a career at one of the area’s many technical schools. Whatever your goal, there’s and institution that will help you reach it. The range of choices starts with the regions largest educational institution, the 98,000-pupil Jefferson County Public School System (JCPS) offers a number of optional and magnet programs for students at all grade levels, and has an open enrollment policy for in coming high school freshman. It has earned national attention for student achievement and for the system’s integration of technology in to the classroom. The system’s Gheens Professional Development Academy is a national model for teacher training. But the community also possesses a variety of private schools – among them the state’s third largest school system, the Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville’s 52 schools – which extend the range of educational approaches. The Louisville community has commenced an ambitions $16million school-literacy initiative called Every 1 Reads. The project developed by JCPS, Louisville Metro Government and Greater Louisville Inc.(GLI) and funded by JCPS, GLI and the local business community, aims to have all 98,000 JCPS student reading at grade level. Over 10,000 volunteers from business and high educational institutions have been trained and assigned to work with students. JCPS has redesigned its mathematics and science curriculums with the help of a five-year, $25 million GE Foundation College Bound District Program grant (JCPS is the grant’s first recipient). The grant, which was awarded to support a comprehensive school-business-community collaboration, aims to help raise students’ test scores, close achievement gaps, and increase the number of high school graduates entering college.

Since public and private schools throughout the area have specific enrollment guidelines, parents should first contact either the school or the schools system administration to determine what is needed to properly enroll children for classes. For more information on Jefferson County Public Schools school assignment, please contact the demographics office at 4853050 or visit jcpsky.net. The choices don’t end at 12th grade, either. The region’s over 30 colleges, universities, technical and business schools offer a wide variety of post-secondary options, from traditional four-year programs to accelerated evening and weekend programs geared toward working professionals to certificate programs that validate a student’s mastery of high-tech skills. In an effort to make higher education availability more accessible to the community and to increase the education and skill level of our community, 30 regional post-secondary institutions have come together to form the HIRE (Higher Income Requires Education) Education Forum. HIRE is a collaborative forum to promote business and community prosperity and it fosters “competition” among post-secondary institutions, aligns higher education activities with community goals and serves as the premier education and workforce development system, in turn increasing the region’s post-secondary graduation rate. In recent years, Kentucky has put great emphasis on improving its education system. The 1990 Kentucky Educational Reform Act was the country’s most sweeping reform of public schools. Another act in 1997 brought out a highly successful reorganization of the state’s community colleges and technical schools. The state’s “Bucks for Brains,” program is aimed at attracting and retaining leading scholars in the state’s research universities (one of which is UofL) The KEES program allocates lottery proceeds to scholarship funds – a student’s grade translate into up to $2,500 a year to pay tuition at Kentucky colleges or universities.

Adult and Continuing Education If you are looking to increase your skills and talents or take a class in your leisure time, JCPS Adult and Continuing Education can help you ﬁnd what you are looking for. For more information on this program, go to adulted4u.com.

Feel right at

home. It’s probably going to take you a while to get settled in, but when you’re ready to choose a new financial institution–think about Park Community Federal Credit Union. Safe and Secure When you trust us with your money, you have peace of mind knowing that your funds are federally insured. In the same manner that FDIC insures banks, NCUA insures credit unions. That’s because they’re both U.S. government agencies. Not one penny of NCUA insured funds has ever been lost by a member of a federally insured credit union.

Free HI Checking If you use your debit card more often than cash or checks, have your check direct deposited, and prefer to get your statements online, Park Community’s Free HI Checking is the account for you. It earns a unbelievable rate, a rate often reserved for certificate or money market accounts. Best of all–there’s no minimum balance!

Savings and Investments Go ahead, compare our rates. Because we are a credit union and not a bank, our members benefit from higher rates on savings and investments. Once you’re here, you won’t have to shop around any longer.

Mortgages and Loans We also do our part to provide you with low rates on mortgages and loans and financing options to fit your budget. We offer a free mortgage analysis to help you determine if you’re ready for a mortgage and then determine what you can afford comfortably. So if you’re ready to start managing your money your way, call 502/968.3681 (toll free at 800/626.2870), stop by your local branch, or visit us at parkcommunity.com.

Anyone who lives or works in the Louisville Metro area can bank with us!

Your savings federally insured to at least $100,000 and backed by full faith and credit of the United States Government

Louisville has more parkland per capita than any other U.S. city. In the Louisville area alone, the Metro Parks Department manages more than 14,000 acres in 123 parks.

Metro Parks City of Parks Initiative A multi-million, multi-year initiative to add 4,000 new acres of parkland and protected green space to Louisville Metro’s “greenprint” will complete Louisville’s transformation into a City of Parks. The City of Parks initiative is heralded as one of the largest urban expansion projects in America. Building upon the groundwork laid by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted over a century ago, this will be the most comprehensive effort to grow and improve the area’s park system since the launch of the Olmsted parks in the 1890s. Through a significant public/ private partnership, the City of Parks initiative will improve the in-

frastructure of Louisville’s existing parks and offer a paved loop trail of 100 miles or more around the outer edge of Metro Louisville, fostering quality suburban development in rapidly growing areas of Metro Louisville. Known as the “Louisville Loop,” the trail will offer significant new opportunities for recreation and alternative transportation, connecting Louisville’s diverse parks and neighborhoods, with plans for connecting to Southern Indiana and surrounding Kentucky counties. The City of Parks Initiative is a project that is being praised by the Trust for Public Land as “… path-breaking land conservation efforts that put Louisville in a league of its own nationally.” The first 23mile section of the Louisville Loop was opened in Spring 2008. The

There’s a place...

Jefferson County

Jeﬀerson County all photos © HBAL

Now is a great time to move to Jeﬀerson County (or as the locals call it, Metro Louisville). Metro Louisville has $5 billion in construction planned or underway, which will not only provide residents with more cultural, recreational and business opportunities, but will more than likely increase property values and will make moving here a wise investment. It’s an exciting time to be in Metro Louisville! Impressive new museums and entertainment complexes are opening, and expansions of the suburban areas are creating new dining, entertainment, employment and residential options. In addition, the nationally-recognized City of Parks initiative will preserve the area’s green spaces as the city continues to grow. In as little as two years, Louisville’s skyline will beckon even more sports en-

where hometown

It’s a place where sit down, relax and put up your feet meets grab your best party dress and paint the town any color you want. It’s a place where ideas are dreamed and realized. It’s a place where horses wear garlands of roses and lilies and most people know every word to the state song.

thusiasts, art lovers and people in search of big city luxuries in a safe, hometown environment. The downtown area is quickly changing as projects are already underway to build a new 22,000-seat sports arena, 62-story Museum Plaza and incredible options for shopping, dining and entertaining. But, you won’t have to wait until the construction hats are put away to enjoy Metro Louisville’s social scene. With popular hangouts along Bardstown Road in the Highlands and the Fourth Street Live! entertainment complex downtown, outdoor concerts at Waterfront Park, numerous coﬀee houses spread throughout the city and gallery hops in the Downtown and Crescent Hill areas, there are plenty places to enjoy a night on the town.

meets high impact. Metro Louisville – A City Already on the Move While Louisville seems to be coming into its own, it’s been on the move for quite a while. Those successes have given the area just the momentum it needed to fuel this investment in its future. Just a few years ago, Jefferson County became the first major metropolitan area in 30 years to merge its city and county governments, and today it is serving as a role model for other communities wanting to streamline their local agencies. With a population of nearly 700,000, Metro Louisville is the country’s 16th largest city. Its Mayor, Jerry Abramson was awarded the 2007 Leadership Award for Public Service by the International Economic Development Council. Abramson’s award is a reflection of Louisville’s growing reputation as a city on the move. Metro Louisville offers a diverse living and working environment receptive to both change and preservation of its heritage. The area includes an array of cultural offerings, innovative businesses, state-of-the-art medical facilities and a wide variety of educational institutions. The economy continues to grow as entrepreneurs and big businesses alike are setting up shop in area business parks and neighborhoods. Keeping in line with history, Louisville’s importance to the shipping industry flourishes today with the expanded presence of the world air hub for UPS, which continues to be the area’s biggest employer. Ask most Metro Louisville families what makes the city special and many of them would say it’s the variety of kid-friendly activities. Whether it’s taking in a game at Slugger Field, a trip to the Science Museum or the Louisville Zoo, the county offers a variety of activities to enlighten, entertain and educate. In fact, among large metropolitan areas in the United States, Metro Louisville offers the best features for relocating families, according to a survey by Worldwide ERC and Primacy Relocation. With an enthusiastic embrace of new cultures and ideas, Metro Louisville continues to blend metropolitan style with hometown pride. The county’s diversity, its commitment to preserving the past and preparing for the future and the allure of friendly people position Metro Louisville to keep offering residents an attractive lifestyle adaptive to change, but dedicated to maintaining its unique hospitable culture.

There’s a place...

Henry County Located approximately 35 miles northeast of Louisville, Henry County is easily accessible by Interstate 71. If you would rather take the path less traveled, there are plenty of country roads that connect Henry County with surrounding Shelby, Oldham and Trimble Counties. The estimated population is 15,771 and growing, due largely to the aﬀordable housing market and its prime location to Louisville as well as Lexington (70 miles northwest) and Cincinnati (65 miles southwest). Attractive housing options are available in the quaint downtowns of the county in addition to several upand-coming subdivisions, including a new development in the northwest part of the county that includes upscale homes surrounded by lush green ﬁelds and open spaces. Beautiful country roads border farms and homes on large lots.

where homegrow It’s a place that hosts outdoor concerts for wine lovers and where artists demonstrate their talents at local pharmacies. It’s where thousands of people visit to see men dressed in medieval attire jousting on horses and where people hang on tight to their forks for dessert at Our Best Restaurant. It’s a place where quiet evenings on the front porch are celebrated among neighbors and newly constructed homes maintain the same welcoming qualities as Victorian mansions. It’s where locally-grown produce is the special of the day most anywhere and where motorcycles can be custom ordered. It’s a place made to explore the area’s picturesque country roads and beautiful agricultural heritage. It’s a place full of surprises in a hello-how-are-you-doing kind of atmosphere where no one is a stranger. Notable historic sites remind visitors of the county’s heritage, including the 1790 Pearce Log Cabin and the Henry County History Center and Museum, as well as Sweet Home Spun, a restored Low Dutch building on Hwy 421. Like much of the rest of rural America, Henry County has transformed from a purely agricultural economy to a diversiﬁed economy with industry and technology playing large roles. An industrial park near I-71 in Campbellsburg recently received a federal grant to complete its infrastructure. Some of the area’s largest private employers include Hussy Copper Ltd., Eminence Speaker Corp, Steel Technologies, Safety Kleen and Arvin Sango.

The factory will add to Henry County’s growing list of new businesses and unique tourist attractions. Henry County’s agricultural heritage is celebrated and enjoyed by the public at the Smith-Berry Vineyard and Winery, a small family farm located north of New Castle. This traditional cattle and tobacco farm has diversified into grape growing and winemaking and offers tastings and educational sessions. The winery also includes an art gallery that displays work from regional artists and features monthly special events, including dinners and concerts during the summer months. While winemaking is drawing a crowd in Henry County, so is art. The area has attracted many artists, some of whom offer demonstrations in the Cook’s Pharmacy locations in Eminence and Campbellsburg, in addition to an annual art show at the Smith-Berry Winery. There’s even a website for artistic products made in the county (madein.henrycountyky.com). The annual Henry County Harvest Showcase in July features the artistry of local craftspeople and farmers with a true country breakfast of Henry county cured country ham, locally laid eggs, homegrown tomatoes, biscuits and gravy.

The Highlands Renaissance Faire runs for eight weeks on the weekends from May through July offers unique opportunities to experience the beauty of Henry County’s countryside and the traditions of some of our medieval ancestors. For the nature lover, 137-acre Lake Jericho features fishing, camping, shelters, outdoor picnic areas and much more. Henry County’s most famous place is “little town of” Bethlehem, where thousands of Christmas cards are stamped with the wise men following the star. A living nativity scene is offered each year, and live animals and church members portray the First Christmas. Hungry eaters from around the region make the quaint drive to Smithfield for mouth-watering home cooking at Our Best Restaurant. Located in a renovated feed store adjacent to an old grinding mill, Our Best Restaurant also features a gift shop next door to an antique store. If you go, remember to save room for their fantastic desserts. If you’re craving a peaceful lifestyle in a quaint rural atmosphere, Henry County has much to offer. Like many who appreciate its beauty and historic ambiance, you too might get used to the hospitable nature and easy-going attitude of a community committed to making the most of its agricultural assets.

Oldham County has recently welcomed the addition of The Rawlings Group, the anchor tenant in the new OCEDA Business Park.

There’s a place...

Shelby County

www.LouisvilleRelocationGuide.com

where get-up-and It’s a place where imaginations run as boldly as the horses in its nearby farms. It’s a place where the sun rises a little earlier for the folks making biscuits at Claudia Sanders Dinner House. It’s a place where history is more than just recorded – it’s celebrated with a youthful enthusiasm of a growing child balancing on Grandpa’s knee. It’s a tell-me-just-one-more-story kind of place where the heritage of lifelong residents is openly shared with the new kids on the block. It’s a place where the Bluegrass rolls alongside meandering country roads and new residential developments offer headturning images of what a perfect home should be like. Shelby County’s population has grown more than 34 percent over the last decade. Now topping 37,000, Shelby County’s steady stream of newcomers validates what long-time residents have known for years – its small town atmosphere and convenient location between Lexington and Louisville offer a peaceful retreat and comfortable lifestyle that’s simply hard to find anywhere else. In addition to the easy commute to Louisville, a strong school system and a supportive business community give companies and families good reasons to call Shelby County home. The short drive from Louisville to Shelby County along US 60 reveals a community that’s building upon its infastructure in a response to that growth. A new bypass in the north section of the county is currently underway and is expected to be completed soon. Plans are also in the works for three new schools. The county library built in 1903 is also undergoing an expansion. In addition, Jewish Hospital Shelbyville is being renovated as well. Plans to build a new judicial center have also been approved. New businesses have joined the crowd in recent years to serve its growing population, including Lowe’s, Walgreens, Rite Aid, American Founders Bank and Ramada Inn. In addition to the Shelby County School system and Jewish Hospital, Shelby County’s largest employers include industrial companies such as Martinrea Heavy Stamping, Leggett & Platt, Johnson Controls, Katayama American Co., Ichikoh Manufacturing and Roll Forming Corporation, among others. Neff Packaging and Nifco North America just recently began operating in Shelby County. The development of Hi-Point Industrial Park is continuing to get the attention of prospective new businesses. Although Louisville is only a short trip along Shelbyville Road or Interstate 64, there are plenty of options that often convince residents to just stay put for a good meal. Shelby County’s dining scene includes some restaurants well known for their historic past, good food and wonderful ambiance, including the Science Hill Inn, Old Stone Inn and Claudia Sanders Dinner House. The area is also a host of several authentic Latino and Chinese restaurants as well as the recently opened Kobe Japanese Restaurant. One-of-a-kind barbecue “joints,” quaint lunch cafes, downtown coffee houses and well-known chains and fast-food restaurants also add to the culinary flavor of the area. As the Saddlebred Capital of the World, Shelbyville plays host to the nationallyknown Shelbyville Horse Show, which draws thousands to the fairgrounds each August. The area’s horse farms are a tremendous asset for Shelby County and contribute to the beautiful rural environment and thriving economy. Tours of some area horse farms are offered through the Shelby County Visitors Bureau. Shelby County’s reputation as a destination for antique shopping is anchored by its wide variety of specialty stores, including the renowned Wakefield-Scearce Galleries. Wakefield-Scearce Galleries has been recognized as one of the finest purveyors of antiques in America. With more than 32,000 sq. ft. of showrooms located in historic Science Hill, the galleries feature antique silver, fine oil paintings and elegant furniture.

For 27 years, we lived on a 35 acre Oldham County farm in a 200 year old home and had no thoughts of leaving until we happened upon Rivers Landing. When we saw the size of the duplex condos, the beautiful setting on the river and the lake and the quality of the construction, we were sold. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great choice for us.

There’s a place...

Spencer County

where big ideas s It’s a place where the path less traveled gives you reasons to remember where you’ve been. It’s a stop-and-smell-the-roses kind of place where people aren’t afraid to say hello to strangers, invite them in for coffee and convince them there’s no better place on Earth than where they’re currently standing. It’s a place where live music fills the air on summer evenings and the view from Edgewater Resort takes your breath away. It’s where store owners know their customers by name and where a gentle, laid-back attitude offers a change from big city pressures. It’s where the people are a natural reflection of their surroundings. Spencer County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Kentucky, with a population that has more than doubled what it was just eight years ago. Located just 20 minutes from Louisville, Spencer County offers residents an outin-the-country experience with all the benefits of a quick commute to the city. With so many outdoor activities surrounding 3,050-acre Taylorsville Lake, tourism is big business in Spencer County. Anglers vie for bass, bluegill and crappie while pleasure boaters enjoy miles of pristine shoreline. The Taylorsville Lake Wildlife Management Area surrounds the lake, providing natural habitat and many wildlife viewing opportunities. The Horseman’s Camp at the park offers an added experience for horse lovers who enjoy sleeping under the stars. Adding to the county’s tourism options, Edgewater Resort offers visitors to Spencer County incredible views and resort-style accommodations. The resort, which is located on a 163-acre tract on a bluff overlooking Taylorsville Lake, features more than 120 cottages and a condominium-style hotel and conference center. Plans to develop an 80-acre sports complex adjacent to the resort are currently under way. The complex will host tournaments and serve as a training ground for pro-athletes and is expected to attract thousands of sports enthusiasts to Spencer County in the coming years. In addition to tourism, the county is poised for industrial interest as well. The 51-acre Taylorsville Business Park has been completed to welcome new business and industry. The most recent businesses include Permastone, American Concrete, and Weiss Trucking. In addition, possible plans for creating an airport in Spencer County are being considered within the community. Tanglewood Golf Course is a natural draw for golfers in the area. The pride of the community is recognized with special events held throughout the county. Main Street in Taylorsville offers a farmer’s market on Saturdays in the summer and a series of live musical performances on various summer evenings. The annual arts fair, Kentucky Gourd Show, Light Up Salt River and the Spencer County Homecoming also draw crowds from around the region. The friendliness, southern hospitality and low crime rate make Spencer County a natural draw for many. And, with the natural beauty of Taylorsville Lake State Resort Park, Spencer County is hard to resist. In addition to the lake, several agricultural venues invite the public to understand what farming is really all about, including The Berry Farm, Emmaus Farm, Plum Ridge Alpacas and Covenant Farm. The historic Ashes Creek Schoolhouse and Yates Log Cabin symbolize the rich heritage of the area, reminding us where this growing community began.

There’s a place...

Bullitt County

where can-do mee It’s where lifelong residents open their doors to new neighbors and promises are sealed with handshakes. It’s where quality of life is valued and history and agriculture are celebrated just a few minutes from the big city. It’s where a place called Zappos attracts hoards of designer shoe fanatics and where “geeks” are the cool guys who can solve all your computer problems. It’s a place where you can watch hand-blown glass artwork in progress while you eat. It’s where you can discover the secrets of a 14,000 acre forest along Bent Twig Trail or have a tea party at a place called Slow Poke Farm. Tourism in Bullitt County has an $81 million economic impact on the economy, with many historical and natural offerings for travelers and residents alike. The Paroquet Springs Conference Centre, located near Exit 117 in Shepherdsville, hosts many regional, state, and local events that celebrate the heritage and the future of Bullitt County. Historic sites include Belmont Iron Furnace, Brashear’s Station, Bullitt’s Lick, the Lloyd House, and Mystery Cemetery, Salt River Iron Furnace and the Bullitt County History Museum, among others, give visitors insight to the history of the area. Visitors can also learn more about the history of bourbon production at the Jim Beam American Outpost in Clermont, where tours of the distillery and National Historic Beam Home are offered. At Hawk’s View gallery and cafe, distinctive hand-blown art glass items are made while you watch and dine. Heritage Hill Golf Club is an 18-hole public championship golf club that offers golfers a challenging course with amenities found at many private clubs. Country and bluegrass music can be enjoyed at the Shepherdsville Music Show. If high speed is more your style, spend the night out on the go-cart track with the kids at Kart Kountry. Shoppers will find bargains at some of the area’s outlet stores, antique shops and the World’s Most Awesome Flea Market and Zappos shoe outlet, where couture designer fashions can be found at low prices. The area’s agricultural heritage is celebrated at Historic Slow Poke Farm in Shepherdsville and Sycamore Ridge Farm in Mt. Washington, where down-on-thefarm fun is an everyday experience. You can also sample a bottle of Pine Creek Rose at Wight-Meyer Vineyard & Winery, which just recently opened to the public in Shepherdsville. If you’re hungry, Bullitt County offers familiar national restaurants, in addition to some local eateries. Whatever you’re craving, Bullitt County can satisfy your appetite for settling down in a growing community that offers a rural country setting with just enough metropolitan flavor.

Located just 15 minutes south of Louisville on I-65, Bullitt County is one of Kentucky’s fastest-growing counties and has a school system that ranks as Kentucky’s seventh largest district. With an estimated population pushing the 70,000 mark, the increasing number of people living there has fueled an active home building industry. In the last few years, three new schools have opened to accommodate the growing student population. Post-secondary educational opportunities have increased with the addition of a new community and technical college near the Cedar Grove Industrial Park. In addition, degrees can be earned through Indiana Wesleyan University, Mid Continent University and Bullitt County Adult Education, in conjunction with Jeﬀerson Community & Technical College. Since 2000, Bullitt County has seen an explosion of new businesses, including JOM Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson) in Settlers Point Business Park. The Medline, a hospital equipment and supply company is another tenant in the park. In addition Cedar Grove Business Park hosts Gordon Food Services, APL Logistics, Zappos.com, Linens-N-Things and AEC, just to name a few. With Jewish Hospital’s $35 million medical center and Norton Hospital’s immediate care center, the county has seen a rise in the number of health care providers, including primary care physicians and specialists. Publisher’s Printing Company is the area’s largest private employer. Founded in 1866, the company is recognized nationally for its high quality publication printing services. Best Buy’s “Geek Squad City” has set up shop in Bullitt County, which is recognized as the world’s largest computer repair center. Bullitt County consists of 300 square miles and includes rolling knobs, lakes, rivers and forests, including Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in Clermont, which oﬀers weekend nature programs, a visitor center and plenty of opportunities to get away from it all.
