Greater Louisville is home to 15 hospitals and thousands of quality medical professionals, as well as Humana, Inc., a $20 billion healthcare company.

Louisville – A City Investing in Its Future

Downtown Louisville has received national attention with the success of the 4th Street Live! entertainment district, the new Muhammad Ali Center, 21c Museum Hotel, the City of Parks initiative and other new cultural and entertainment venues. In building on the area’s support of a revitalized downtown, there has been a recent explosion of growth in Louisville as the city undergoes more than $2.5 billion in revitalization and construction of new developments in the heart of downtown. These investments, along with growth in outlying areas, position Greater Louisville as an emerging hotbed of cultural, entertainment and business opportunities. A new downtown arena is bringing excitement throughout Greater Louisville, with residents eager to attend major events in the new state-of-the-art, multipurpose sports and entertainment facility. The 22,000-seat facility will offer sweeping views of the Ohio River and will play host to University of Louisville basketball games, in addition to numerous other events. Anticipated completion of the project is November 2010. (See “Sports” for more.) Described as a “skyline-changing addition for Louisville’s waterfront,” the $490 million Museum Plaza, a 61-story urban development that will include luxury condominiums, loft apartments, office space, a hotel, retail space, a contemporary arts museum, the University of Louisville’s Graduate School of Business and much more. With $150 million in new development surrounding Louisville Slugger Field, the Center City retail and entertainment district expansion, a nearly half-billion proposed expansion of the Fourth Street entertainment district, a new public plaza at the Muhammad Ali Center and exponential growth of downtown housing, Louisville is certainly a city that is investing in its future.

Education The Greater Louisville area includes award-winning schools, including public, religious and private institutions, with plenty of opportunities for parents to play active roles in their children’s educational growth. Most schools operate from August through May or early June. (The county sections that follow list schools for individual areas.) In Metro Louisville, Every 1 Reads is a perfect example of how this community comes together to work on behalf of its children. The ambitious $16 million school-literacy initiative strives to have all 98,000 JCPS student reading at grade level. More than 10,000 volunteers from business and higher educational institutions have been trained and assigned to work with students. As the program enters its fifth year, the number of children reading below grade level is now approximately 8.5 percent - down from nearly 20 percent before the Every 1 Reads initiative started. When it comes to the pursuit of a quality education, community involvement doesn’t end with high school. In an effort to make higher education availability more accessible to the 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 by fostering “competition” among postsecondary institutions, aligning higher education activities with community

goals and serving as the premier education and workforce development system with the goal of increasing the region’s post-secondary graduation rate. In addition, The Graduate! Greater Louisville program helps students get their higher education goals back on track. In the Greater Louisville area, there are more than 50,000 students attending 30 local colleges, universities, seminaries, technical schools and other institutions of higher learning. The region’s post-secondary schools offer a variety of options, ranging 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. Higher education is made possible for many students through community-driven programs that help with funding and finding the right match for your educational needs.

Counties

Jefferson County Where ideas and dreams are realized. Jefferson County is a place where people hold onto their horses and reach for their dreams at the same time. It’s where you can grab your best party dress and paint the town any color you want. It’s where tears are shed during the playing of “My Old Kentucky Home” that first Saturday in May and where modern, big city luxuries are enjoyed within quaint, historic communities. In Jefferson County, there is an energizing atmosphere that flows as freely as the nearby Ohio River. Jefferson County (or as the locals call it, Metro Louisville) has certainly “come into its own,” with more than $5 billion in construction planned or underway. Residents here have more cultural, recreational and business opportunities than ever before. 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, adding

4,000 acres and a 100-mile loop around the city. It’s an exciting time to be in Metro Louisville! Louisville’s skyline will soon beckon even more sports enthusiasts, art lovers and people in search of metropolitan style 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, 61-story Museum Plaza and more incredible options for shopping, dining and entertainment. Metro Louisville’s social scene is buzzing with popular hangouts along Bardstown Road in the Highlands and the Fourth Street Live! entertainment complex Downtown. There are plenty of places to enjoy a night on the town. Outdoor concerts at Waterfront Park, gallery hops in the Downtown and Crescent Hill areas, performances at Iroquois Amphitheatre and special events and numerous coffee houses spread throughout the city offer residents an eclectic array of activities from which to choose.

Shelby County Where get-up-and-go meets giddy-up and go. Shelby County is a place where imaginations run as boldly as the horses do in its numerous farms. It’s a place where the sun rises a little earlier for the folks making biscuits at Claudia Sanders Dinner House and where history is more than just recorded. It’s where the heritage of lifelong residents is openly shared with the new kids on the block and where the Bluegrass rolls alongside meandering country roads. Shelby County is a unique blend of modern conveniences and small town charm that provide newcomers plenty of good reasons to be proud to call it home. Shelby County’s population has topped 41,000, with a steady stream of newcomers validating what long-time residents have known for years – the quaint 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 proximity, a strong school system and a supportive business community make it a great place to live and work. While committed to preserving its heritage and beautiful agricultural landscape, there are a lot of changes in Shelby County that offer current and future residents additional resources and accessibility to modern conveniences. A new 4.5-mile bypass in the north section of the county is currently underway and is expected to be completed this year. Construction of a new judicial center is in the works, with expected completion of the nearly $20 million project in 2010. In addition, Shelby County will add another school campus to its educational offerings. Additional renovations include the recent expansion of the county library, originally built in 1903. Jewish Hospital Shelbyville also recently renovated its emergency room. Plans for creating a downtown district in Simpsonville are also being discussed. Well-known businesses have joined the crowd in recent years to serve the area’s 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, and 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 restaurants that serve Southern Hospitality and good old fashioned home cooking in their own unique ways, including the Science Hill Inn, Old Stone Inn and Claudia Sanders Dinner House. 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. Shelbyville also plays host to Gallrein Farms, located just a few miles off of U.S. 60. Along with a fresh produce market, the farm also offers berry and pumpkin picking, a petting zoo for children, five greenhouses and horse-drawn hayrides. Known as the Saddlebred Capital of the World, Shelbyville is proud of its equine culture and celebrates it by hosting numerous horse shows throughout the year, including the Shelbyville Horse Show, which draws championship American Saddlebreds and thousands of spectators from across the country. 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.

Counties

Spencer County Where community pride swims as freely as the bluegill. Spencer County is 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 where live music fills the air on summer evenings and the view from Edgewater Resort takes your breath away. In Spencer County, store owners know their customers by name and the gentle, laid-back attitude of residents offers a change from big city pressures. It’s where the people are a natural reflection of their surroundings and where taking care of your neighbors is part of everyday life. Located just 20 minutes from Louisville, Spencer County offers residents an out-in-the-country experience with all the benefits of a quick commute to the city. Spencer County has been regarded as one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Kentucky, with a population (nearly 18,000) that has more than doubled what it was just under ten years ago. Many people choose Spencer County for their vacation destination. With so many outdoor activities surrounding 3,050-acre Taylorsville Lake, tourism is big business in Spencer County. Anglers catch bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie in abundance while pleasure boaters enjoy 60 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. Spencer County offers a chance to get back to the basics of life, where

parents can teach their children how to fish or people of all ages can show off their wake boarding or water skiing skills. Adding to the county’s tourism options, Edgewater Resort offers visitors to Spencer County incredible views and accommodations on a 163-acre tract overlooking Taylorsville Lake. In addition to tourism, the county is poised for industrial interest as well. The 51-acre Taylorsville Business Park is poised to welcome new business and industry. The pride of the community is recognized with special events held throughout the county. Main Street in Taylorsville offers a series of live musical performances on various summer evenings. The 200-acre Tanglewood Golf Course is a natural draw for golfers in the area. The annual arts fair, Kentucky Gourd Show, Light Up Salt River and the Spencer County Octoberfest also draw crowds from around the region. In addition to the lake, several venues invite the public to understand Spencer County’s agricultural roots, including working farm tours and farmer’s markets. Hometown cooking is the secret ingredient for many one-of-a-kind restaurants in Spencer County. The historic Ashes Creek Schoolhouse and Yates Log Cabin symbolize the rich heritage of the area, reminding us where this growing community originally began. 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 simply hard to resist.

Counties

Henry County Where homegrown is the daily special Henry County offers 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 you can enjoy an outdoor concert at a local winery, watch artists demonstrate their talents at downtown pharmacies or even pull for your favorite knight in a jousting contest. It’s where people hang on tight to their forks for dessert and where motorcycles can be custom ordered. Henry County’s picturesque country roads and beautiful agricultural heritage offer the tranquility and peace-of-mind not often found so close to the big city. It’s a place full of surprises in a hello-how-are-you-doing kind of atmosphere – where absolutely no one is a stranger. 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). 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 become accustomed to the hospitable nature and easy-going attitude of a community committed to making the most of its agricultural assets. Henry County ranks in the top 10 in the state in tobacco and hay production and recently received well over $1 million in grant money for agricultural diversification efforts. The county is poised to receive more throughout the next 25 years, making it an attractive climate for new agricultural ventures. Notable historic sites throughout the area 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. Glenview Farms Premium Beef (previously known as Creekstone Farms) is an international company that operates a division on 1,000 acres in Henry County. Motorcycle enthusiasts have become more familiar with Henry County in recent years with the addition of Apollo Choppers, a factory that produces custom motorcycles for the discriminating cyclist. 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 44

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 Festival runs for eight weeks on the weekends from May through July and 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. Attractive housing options are available in the quaint downtowns of the county in addition to several up-and-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.

Gallopalooza – A celebration of artistry and community No, you’re not dreaming or hallucinating. There actually are life-size painted horses around Louisville -- a lot of them in fact, standing proudly throughout many parts of the city. Each one is unique, and each one has a story behind it. The common theme, however is Gallopalooza, a civic pride initiative that blossomed in the spring of 2004 as a way to beautify the streets, encourage tourism and local exploration, showcase local artists and generate civic pride. Each life-size, fiberglass horse is spectacularly painted, so it’s hard not to take notice. In addition to the artistic contribution to the community, Gallopalooza has raised nearly $800,000 to support Brightside (the area’s environmental awareness organization) and other charities! For more information, visit gallopalooza.com

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 infrastructure 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 loop is 25 percent complete, allowing pedestrians or bicyclists to travel nearly 25 miles from Downtown to Riverside, the Farnsely-Mormen Landing along paved multi-use paths.

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 puts Louisville in a league of its own nationally.” For more information on the development of the City of Parks, visit louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/cityofparks.

sports and venues Greater Louisville has made a name for itself in many arenas – and fields, courts and tracks. When it comes to sports, the area has much to offer. In fact, Louisville’s sports enthusiasts are a big reason why Sports Illustrated has rated Kentucky as having the third best sports fan base in the country. With a contagious team spirit and a long-standing love of high school and college sports, it’s no doubt that the community will continue grooming competitive athletes and sports fans for many years to come. In addition to the Kentucky Derby, the area has proven to be a popular venue for many other nationally-recognized large-scale sporting events. In 2008, Louisville’s own Vahalla Golf Club was host to the renowned Ryder Cup, one of professional golf ’s top international competitions, which pairs 12 of the top American golfers against 12 of their European counterparts.

In the last six years, UofL has been to the Final Four, a BCS Bowl, and the College World Series. Bellarmine University, home of the Knights, fields 16 competitive NCAA Division II teams and competes in lacrosse at the Division I level (the only collegiate lacrosse program in the state).

The Story of the 10 Little Piggies:

This little piggy will take you to market, this little piggy to the park, this one to the pool…

He will learn all about car seats some day, so until then enjoy your Norton Commons Moment. At Norton Commons you’ll discover that being able to walk to some of your favorite destinations isn’t just a fairy tale. Imagine walking to the Farmer’s Market to pick a perfectly vine-ripened tomato to go with your lunch. Or, imagine a short stroll to your favorite restaurant for an impromptu meal with friends. You can even skip the car ride to school, and just lace up your child’s shoes and join the walking school bus. These are the kind of moments that are common at Norton Commons — a walk-able, connected lifestyle with all the small-town charm you desire, and all the amenities you and your family will love.
