Meet Your

Greater Louisville Living in Greater Louisville can be a bit like staring into a funhouse mirror because sometimes it is hard to believe what you are seeing is the real thing. Greater Louisville embraces its history as a center for riverboat travel, horse racing, and bourbon, but it has also managed to become an incubator for cutting-edge ideas without losing an ounce of its Southern charm. This is a large metropolitan area – the 47th largest city in America – but Greater Louisville feels like a small town. If there are six degrees of separation between people in other places, there is only two or three here.

After a while, it will seem like everyone you meet knows somebody who knows somebody else you know.

Greater Louisville residents have a smorgasbord of opportunities for fun. The area boasts urban amenities – a vibrant downtown, nationallyrecognized restaurants, and a thriving arts scene – but it is also home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the state of Kentucky. There are also plenty of forests, rivers, and quarries for people who like to hike, bike, boat, or camp. The Big Four, a walking bridge in downtown’s Waterfront Park, gives visitors a spectacular view of the Ohio River. Greater Louisville’s urban park system, which was designed by noted architect Frederick Law Olmsted, is listed on the National Historic Registry.

Mayor Greg Fischer says Louisville is a city on the move. “We have a vibrant arts and food culture – one that doesn’t just compare well to other cities our size, but competes on a global scale,” he said. “Zagat’s, for example, recently listed us among eight top global ‘foodie destinations.’

While we have world-class amenities, we don’t have the hassles of many major cities. Louisville is affordable and easy to navigate. Most importantly, it has a strong sense of place – we’re not just like every other city.

From our baseball bats to our bourbon, from the Derby to IdeaFestival, we’re an innovative, entrepreneurial city that’s rooted in a rich history and building an even better future.”

Mayor Fischer says other mayors around the country are envious of Louisville’s quality of life and original, local atmosphere. “Many cities all seem the same. In Greater Louisville, we’ve got a great mix of global corporations, as well as top-notch local institutions, traditions and events.

We’re home to some of the most eclectic and vibrant neighborhoods in the country – filled with local businesses, innovative restaurants, growing parks and recreation and friendly people. We’re also building a culture of innovation and entrepreneurialism - where everyone feels empowered to

share ideas, start new businesses and share their vision for the future.”

Greater Louisville also has an incredible educational eco-system that includes a top-notch public school system, private schools, and several award-winning universities. Because of its stable, well-educated population, Greater Louisville is one of the few areas of the country to regain all the jobs lost in the recent economic downturn. This is a city that recognizes hard work and tends to reward talent.

Sharon Scott came to Greater Louisville by chance. The Atlanta-native was living in New York City in 2002, when she put the names of 10 cities that she liked into a bag and decided to move to the one she picked. Scott had visited Greater Louisville when she was an art student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville in the ‘90s, but she had no idea relocating here would have such a dramatic impact on her way of life.

“I thought Louisville was only going to be a stopping point, and it ended up becoming my home,” she confesses. “This city has a way of really surprising you. I just found the people here to be supportive and collaborative. When I first started my business Art+FM we met with a lot of nonprofits in the area like the Speed Museum, the Louisville Visual Art Association, and the Louisville Film Society. People really got excited.”

The secret to Greater Louisville’s rich, eclectic culture is the mix of vibrant neighborhoods that make up the community – each possesses its own identity, charm, and traditions. Greater Louisville residents have a wide-array of options when it comes to places to live, work, and play.

This also extends beyond the city limits to the counties nearby. There are Bullitt, Henry, Jefferson, Oldham, Shelby, and Spencer counties in Kentucky and Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties in Indiana. Each of them adds its own flavor to the stew that is Greater Louisville.

If you are reading this Relocation Guide, you have already done more research than Sharon Scott did before she moved to Greater Louisville.

Hopefully, you will find the experience as rewarding as she did. The content within these pages should make it easier to explore your new hometown. Please visit our website, LouisvilleRelocationGuide.com, for more information about Greater Louisville and links to our area partners. * All of the phone numbers are the 502 area code, and the addresses are in Kentucky and Louisville unless otherwise noted.

Housing Real estate is something that fascinates most people whether they are involved in the industry or not. Buying a house is one of the most important decisions a family will make and everyone wants to be informed. Lester Sanders, President of the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors, says the Greater Louisville market doesn’t experience some of the high highs or low lows that other markets in the country, so it remained fairly stable during the recent economic down turn. In recent years, he says that sales are up and his members are seeing numbers that they have not seen since 2007. But he’s not taking anything for granted.

“We’re not in a perfect housing market, but we’ve done a perfect job recovering,” Sanders explains. “An important thing we do as realtors is that we help guard the housing industry. We’ve noticed in the last few years that as housing goes, so goes America. The last leg our country was standing on was whether

the housing bubble will burst or not, and it lasted for quite a few years. We want to continue the current momentum.”

Sanders says Greater Louisville has a plenty of housing stock available in desirable neighborhoods across the community. His organization is emphasizing the message that homeownership matters and it is key to helping the economy. Greater Louisville has a number of diverse neighborhoods, and Sanders says a big part of the realtor’s job is helping homebuyers figure out in what part of the community they fit best.

“It is important for us to sell the Louisville Life and part of the Louisville Life is the diversity of the city,” Sanders says. “Each neighborhood has its own personality, and the residents work to maintain their communities. That’s a good place to live.”

We do not need to be anybody’s best kept

“ SECRET - Craig Richard, President & CEO of Greater Louisville, Inc.

www.LouisvilleRelocationGuide.com

Meet more of your neighbors at:

LouisvilleRelocationGuide.com

Economic Climate When Craig Richard says Greater Louisville is the best kept economic secret in the country, he is not exaggerating in any sense. Richard has worked in economic development in Houston, Dallas, and Virginia, but he didn’t know much about Greater Louisville until an executive search firm contacted him about an opening at Greater Louisville Inc. (GLI), the Metro Chamber of Commerce. Richard was immediately impressed by the area’s diverse economy, educational opportunities, and short commute times.

All of these are indicators of sustained future growth. Since January 2013, when he became GLI’s President and CEO, Richard estimates that he has talked to more than 300 people about the community. The Houston native says in all those conversations there would inevitably be a remark about Greater Louisville being the best kept secret the nation. If Richard has anything to do with it, that’s about to change.

“In economic development, you don’t want to be the best kept secret,” he explains. “You want companies to know how it is to live, work, and play in your community. We need to get over that. We do not need to be anybody’s best kept secret.”

Greater Louisville was not as adversely affected by the recent economic downturn as some other large municipalities because the River City’s economic foundation is spread across a variety of sectors. When it comes to manufacturing, the area has not one, but two auto plants – Ford’s Louisville Assembly Plant and the Kentucky Truck Plant. General Electric’s Appliance Park is another major employer in this sector. These large companies also cause a ripple effect in the economy because they attract suppliers to the area and they also do business with smaller companies in the region.

Logistics is another growing sector of the Greater Louisville economy.

The area’s close proximity to major expressways – I-65 and I-64 – and a world-class airport, the Louisville International Airport, has also led to an upswing in logistics-related jobs. More than 90 companies have set up or expanded logistic operations in Greater Louisville since 2000, mostly to be close to United Parcel Service (UPS), which has its main hub here. Amazon, Zappo’s, and Café Press maintain shipping operations in the region.

Transportation dollars are likely to increase even more in 2016 when two new Ohio River Bridges are expected to be completed.

Healthcare is another economic driver in Greater Louisville. The region boasts cutting-edge medical research, several renowned medical centers, insurance call centers, and a growing list of biotechnology companies. Greater Louisville is also home to Fortune 500 companies like Humana and Kindred Healthcare. In addition, Kentucky made a commitment to stop brain drain with the Research Challenge Trust Fund, commonly known as Bucks for Brains Program. This strategic investment in university research is designed to create new jobs, generate new economic activity and provide new opportunities for Kentucky citizens. The program uses state funds to match private donations, effectively doubling the impact of private investment supporting research in strategically defined areas and planting the seeds for a better future. Over the last decade, this program has attracted internationally-recognized science and medical talent to the University of Louisville and other institutions in the region.

“Louisville is one of the few cities that has regained all the jobs it lost in the recession,” Richard says. “In part, that was because of the diversity of the economy. Another factor is that for a city its size, Greater Louisville has a steady growth rate, which is important.”

At a time when many large municipalities are losing people, Greater

Louisville is actually experiencing a manageable population growth. A large part of this is because of people moving to the River City from other parts of the country or even the world. Between 2010 and 2012, about 30 percent of new Greater Louisville residents were immigrants or refugees from other countries. Suhas Kulkarni, Director of Greater Louisville’s Office of Globalization, says these migrants currently make up 6.5 percent of Greater Louisville’s population. Because of all the research and technological opportunities, the River City attracts thousands of immigrants who are younger, better educated, and more diverse than the nation’s foreign-born population as a whole. Kulkarni says this trend benefits the region’s economic development efforts.

“Being in an interconnected, global world today, I think it’s imperative for us as a city to be global in nature, international in character, and be able to attract the best of talent – whether it is to start a business or raise a family,” Kulkarni asserts. “People want to come and do business where they feel comfortable. Jobs come to where people are living. If we don’t make ourselves an attractive enough place for people to come and live, then the jobs and the businesses won’t come to find the workforce. If we don’t do that, our rate of growth is going to be slower than the rest of the country and the rest of the world.”

Richards adds that local leaders are taking steps to ensure that the influx of new people does not tax the area’s infrastructure. Greater Louisville has plenty of available housing stock for new residents, but the community is also looking for ways to revitalize underutilized neighborhoods. The Portland Pride program is part of a three-year partnership between Louisville Metro Government and Portland Now, the area’s neighborhood association. Portland is the first Louisville neighborhood to receive a federal designation as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD). Portland is also in the midst of a campaign to attract $25 million in private investment to the area.

Metro government has also purchased a 30-acre former National Tobacco property at 30th and Muhammad Ali Boulevard for $1.2 million.

The property will be used for economic development in West Louisville.

This follows in the footsteps of the Liberty Green project, a $200 million, mixed income community in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood that replaced a 1940’s era public housing development. The name is drawn from Liberty Street, the center roadway through the six-block area on the eastern edge of downtown Louisville. When it is completed, Liberty Green will complement the nearby NULU neighborhood, a strip on East Market Street that has become a center for art galleries and restaurants.

One of Richard’s first initiatives at GLI was compiling a five-year economic development plan that will ensure Greater Louisville is a leader in innovation well into the 21st century. With some bold thinking, Richard believes Greater Louisville can achieve even greater heights. He is just glad someone clued him in on what was going on here, so he could be a part of it.

“One of the things I appreciate about Louisville is that while it’s big enough to be a world-class city, its small enough that you can get your arms around it,” Richard says. “It’s small enough that you really think you can make an impact. That’s one of the things I’ve come to appreciate about it.”

Why Invest in Greater Louisville?

Over the last two years, during a severe economic recession nationally, more than 100 companies have made commitments to stay here, move here, build here or grow here. Why? Like a slice of warm Derby Pie (a la mode of course), Louisville offers a surprising combination of cultural flavors and substance that allows businesses and individuals to enjoy life and look forward to a bright future.

Following are just a few reasons why Louisville is a good investment: • An estimated 5 million people live within a 100-mile radius of Louisville, and 6.8 million people live within a 200-mile radius. The region draws workers from a 26-county bi-state area.

Columbus, OH.................................4 hours Dayton, OH.....................................3 hours Evansville, IN....................................2 hours Huntington, WV..............................4 hours Indianapolis, IN................................2 hours Kansas City, MO...............................9 hours Knoxville, TN................................4.5 hours Memphis, TN...................................6 hours Montgomery, AL...............................8 hours

• Louisville is in the midst of North America’s largest metropolitan parks project, which will add 4,000 acres of new parkland and a 100-mile hike and bike trail around the city of Louisville.

Nashville, TN....................................3 hours

• Over the last two decades, Louisville has become one of the world’s busiest distribution centers with UPS’ global air hub, making Louisville International Airport one of the busiest cargo hubs in North America.

St. Louis, MO...................................5 hours

• There’s a plan in place – Vision Louisville is focused on Louisville’s development over the next 25 years.

Winston-Salem, NC..........................8 hours

Pittsburgh, PA................................6.5 hours Toledo, OH...................................5.5 hours Washington, DC..........................10.5 hours Source: Greater Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau

• Louisville is known nationally for its medical breakthroughs, giving the area a strong backbone for its role as a regional health care center and a breeding ground for medical innovations such as the first artificial heart transplant, the first hand transplant and creation of the vaccine designed to wipe out cervical cancer. Greater Louisville is home to 15 hospitals and thousands of quality medical professionals, as well as Humana, Inc., a $20 billion healthcare company.

• One of the largest transportation improvements in the nation, the proposed construction of two new bridges across the Ohio River began in 2013. The project is designed to improve traffic across the Ohio River and create a network of roads and bridges needed to grow jobs and stimulate economic development. For more information, visit kyinbridges.com.

•

Louisville is home to a diverse, vibrant business base that includes companies such as Humana, Brown-Forman Corp., Papa John’s, Ford, UPS, Kindred Healthcare, Yum! Brands, Inc., Hillerich and Bradsby, Res-Care, PharMerica and GE’s Consumer and Industrial Division. It’s also home to PPL companies LG&E (previously owned by E.On U.S.) and KU, which provide some of the lowest-cost energy in the U.S. In addition, a growing number of pharmaceutical and biotech companies have operation facilities in Louisville.

• Just 10 minutes from downtown, Louisville International Airport is a low-fare airport that has nonstop service to more than 25 destinations and convenient connections to cities worldwide. The airport accommodated more than 3.4 million passengers in 2011.

Education There is an increasing correlation between education level and income in our technological-driven world. Employers are attracted to communities that have a critical mass of highly skilled works. For that reason, Greater Louisville has gone to great lengths to maximize the educational opportunities available to residents at all levels. There are a number of strong public school systems in the area, and several options for private education. Plus, there are several nationallyrecognized universities that offer degrees in several in-demand fields of study.

Many of them also have services for adult learners who are continuing their education.

JoAnne Berryman, Dean of the Kosair Charities College of Health & Natural Sciences at Spalding University, boasts, “We are so collaborative in this city, education facility to education facility. I think we have a wonderful think tank with these great minds that come together. We’re trying to meet the needs of our time at Spalding and I think everyone else is too. I’m very proud of our community.”

Berryman points to 55,000 Degrees as a sign of Greater Louisville’s commitment to top-notch education. Local leaders formed the organization with the goal of adding at least 40,000 more bachelor’s degrees and 15,000 more associate’s degrees to the community. The group has a scholarship program and offers assistance to adults seeking to learn new skills for career advancement.

Education is an important factor in economic development because it can determine a person’s quality of life. Greater Louisville residents have a competitive edge in this unpredictable economy because of their ready access to the skills and knowledge coveted by modern business. The region’s institutions have dedicated themselves to upholding their own high academic standards.

Local Media Greater Louisville has a competitive media landscape that offers something for news junkies of all stripes. The region has a Pulitizer Prize-winning newspaper, an alternative weekly, several community newspapers, and an array of television stations that offer multiple news broadcasts on multiple platforms throughout the day. In addition, the radio dial is full of news and sports coverage. Louisville Public Media, which operates three public radio stations, is also home to The Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting, which offers in-depth reporting on community issues.

WAVE 3 News anchor Dawne Gee says technology may have blurred the lines between media platforms, but all news gathering is essentially about talking to people and telling stories. In today’s world, it does not matter if a story originated in the newspaper, on television, or over the radio because it will most likely be viewed on the internet through a smart phone, tablet, or laptop. This reality means that news organization have to work hard to stay ahead of the competition.

“Technology has really changed the news business over the last 20 years,” Gee explains. “Now they want you to Tweet and Facebook. I remember when they said, ‘You’ll be able to use your phone to report back to the station.’ I remember laughing and saying, ‘Yeah, right.’ Now it is common.”

Gee says the way people consume information will always be changing, but people are always going to want the facts to be right. She believes that news organizations that excel at telling their community’s story will always be successful no matter where technology leads us. In the end, she says, it is all about talking to people.

Jefferson County Jefferson County and Louisville are literally one. In 2003, the county merged with its largest city and county seat to form Louisville Metro. Incorporated areas in Jefferson County became a part of Louisville while retaining their respective small city governments. Most of these small cities are considered Louisville neighborhoods although the neighborhood boundaries are not always the same as the small cities. Louisville Metro Mayor Greg Fischer says the strong neighborhoods are the secret to Greater Louisville’s success.

“One of the qualities that makes Louisville such a great city and community is the rich diversity and history of our neighborhoods which all have distinctive features, unique festivals, ethnic origins and neighborhood parks and atLouisville is located tractions,” Fischer says. between St. Louis and Each Louisville neighborhood has its own attractions, traditions, and charm. For example, Jeffersontown has held Cincinnati on the banks the Gaslight Festival every year since 1969. It has grown from a simple street fair into a week-long showcase of the of the Ohio River at area that attracts people from all over Greater Louisville. In Germantown/Schnitzelburg, residents keep alive an old the intersection of three German tradition called the Dainty Contest. Participants, who must be at least 45 years old, smack a small carved piece of wood – the dainty – off the ground with a stick and then hit it through the air. Whoever hits it the farthest major interstates: I-64, is crowned the World Dainty Contest Champion.

And in east Louisville, the Parklands of Floyds Fork project is nearing nearly 750,000 and a completion adding 4,000 acres of world-class parks, recreation and greenspace that will benefit our city and its citimetropolitan area topping zens for years to come. Fischer says the recreational opportunities when coupled with Louisville’s economic stability 1.2 million. make this a great place to raise a family. And he expects things to get even better.

munity rebound from the long recession and grow new and better jobs in the future,” Fischer explains. “These include the lifelong wellness and aging care industry, of which Louisville is home to more company headquarters than any other city in the world. We are also a world leader in logistics due in large part to the UPS WorldPort shipping hub being located at Louisville International Airport. Our food and beverage industry and culture is growing dramatically and gaining a worldwide reputation. Advanced manufacturing is another strength and a key to our future success. The resurgence of Louisville’s two Ford assembly plants and GE’s Appliance Park has been both exciting and a terrific boon to our local economy.”

Louisville has positioned itself to not only prosper in the 21st century, but to be a leader in the areas of manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. The credit for that success goes to the hard work of local residents who have invested time and money in their neighborhoods. Louisville prides itself on being a place where people want to live, play, and work, but it’s still a small town at heart.

Shelby County Shelby County is an intriguing mix of the urban and rural amentities. If you go to downtown Shelbyville you’ll think you were in Louisville, except for the heights of the buildings. Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger says he has worked with the mayors of Shelbyville and Simpsonville to make Shelby county a more accessible and livable community. They are adding sidewalks and encouraging people to walk and ride bikes through the area. Also, the historic downtown in Shelbyville has very few vacant buildings and has grown into an economic hub of the community.

But you don’t have to travel very far into the community to get to the rural areas of Shelby County. The area still has a thriving agricultural base and it is the American Saddlebred Captial of the World. Shelby County currently has more than 70 American Saddlebred horse farms, and some residential communities have risen up around the industry. Equestrian Lakes, an upscale housing development only 25 minutes from downtown Louisville, has its own riding trails.

Shelby County’s population is “If someone wanted to come to Shelby County there is great opportunity here for jobs, for great approximately 43,000 with a steady education, and above all, a great quality of life,” Rothenburger boasts. “We get a lot of families, one may stream of newcomers validating what work in Louisville and one may work in Lexington. Shelbyville is the perfect half-way point for those spouses to go either way. We used to have this point on U.S. 60, it was a restaurant called the Half-Way long-time residents have known for House.

Taylorsville Lake Marina photo © HBAL

Spencer County Spencer County is only 20 minutes from Louisville, but it’s the area’s natural beauty that makes it one of the fastest growing areas in Kentucky. The county’s rural setting promotes a country lifestyle and it tends to attract people who like communing with nature. Residents enjoy seeing deer, turkey, and other wildlife in the many green spaces throughout Spencer County. The friendliness, Southern hospitality and low crime rate allows Spencer County to retain its rich heritage while facing a prosperous future. People are drawn to the small town atmosphere and encouraged by the growth and prosperity seen throughout the county.

Spencer County’s biggest attraction is the Taylorsville Lake State Park. The park encompasses 1,200-acre of some of the most beautiful horse riding country. The park also boasts RV sites with electric and water hookups, camping, fishing, and boating. The 24 miles, multi-use trail system is also a boon for hikers.

In addition to the lake, Spencer County Fiscal Court, through the Parks and Recreation Department, operates two parks (Waterford Park and Ray Jewell Memorial Park) and sports leagues. The leagues include baseball, football, soccer, and softball for boys and girls.

There are also plenty of other things to do in Spencer County. Several venues invite the public to explore the area’s agricultural roots, including working farm tours and farmers’ markets. Main Street in Taylorsville offers a series of live musical performances on summer evenings, and the annual Arts Fair, Light Up Salt River, and the Spencer County Octoberfest also draw crowds from around the Greater Louisville region. Spencer County is home to the Kentucky Gourd Society, an association of people interested in growing and/or crafting gourds.

The group’s annual Gourd Art Show features an exhibition competition of dried and crafted gourds, crafting supplies and books, and gourd crafting workshops and classes.

The 200-acre Tanglewood Golf Course is a natural draw for golfers in the area and budding artists can learn to quilt or sculpt at the Sanctuary Arts Center. The historic Ashes Creek Schoolhouse and Yates Log Cabin symbolize the rich heritage of the area, reminding everyone where this fast growing community originally began. And, if you’re not relaxed already, you can book a massage at The Village Spa at Edgewater Resort and enjoy the lakeside view just a little longer.

Bullitt County There are a lot of attractions in Bullitt County. There is Jim Beam, which is world-famous for bourbon, and Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest. There is Kart Kountry, the largest outdoor go-cart facility in Kentucky, and Hawks View Gallery & Café, a glass blowing facility and upscale restaurant.

There are even four wineries in the area. However, Bullitt County Judge-Executive Melanie Roberts says none of these are the county’s biggest asset.

“The number one attraction, which you probably wouldn’t think about, it is our people,” Roberts explains. “We have people that are very kind, very considerate, and very caring. When you walk down the sidewalk people will say, ‘Hey, how are you doing today?’ That’s the main reason to come to Bullitt County.”

Bullitt County is one of the fast-growing municipalities in the nation. It has become a major distribution hub because of its proximity to I-65 and the fact that it is only about 16 miles from Louisville International Airport and United Parcel Service’s (UPS) global air-freight hub Worldport.

Amazon/Zappos is the area’s largest employer with more than 3,000 employees. Bullitt County is also home to several commuter towns including the cities of Hillview, Lebanon Junction, Mount Washington and Shepherdsville, which is the county seat. Twenty-six percent of the county’s land mass is taken up by Fort Knox.

John Snider, Bullitt County’s Economic Development Director, says with so much activity going on the county is experiencing growing pains. He says transportation is a major issue. “Because this is one of the fast growing counties in the state, some of the road systems have been outgrown years ago,” Snider says. “We’re looking how to move that forward and create some new road systems that will serve the county better. When you talk about economic development you are looking at one area – Cedar Grove – that has 10,000 people employed there. As it grows, we are going to be taking more people in and out of that area.”

Roberts is a former teacher, so education has been a main priority in the six years she has been in office.

Bullitt County’s public school system has made tremendous improvement in recent years, but Roberts would like the county to have its own community college added to the educational mix. Right now, high school graduates have to leave the county or commute to Greater Louisville for higher education.

“That is my top priority to have a college here for this region,” Roberts admits. “We are diligently working on that and have made great strides in the last several months.”

Roberts says health issues are also something her administration is working on. Bullitt County does not have its own hospital. With the growing population, she says that is becoming a necessity. But there is one thing that Roberts swears will never change in Bullitt County.

“Our people are the jewels in our crown,” she insists. “It takes good people to make a good community, and that’s why we have a good community because of our people.”

Henry County The beauty of Henry County is among the area’s top attraction. Henry County is still a mostly agriculture community, although the population has increased over the last few decades as real estate prices have gone up in nearby Oldham County. John Logan Brent, the Henry County Judge-Executive, says Henry County is attractive to people who want to live in a rural area but also be near the amenities offered by the larger cities.

“From where I live, which is in the interior of Henry County, it’s a 30-minute drive to the parking lot of the Paddock (a mall) in Louisville,” Brent says. “If you are looking at property along the interstate, you can be at Eastern Jefferson County in 25 minutes and you can be in downtown Louisville from anywhere in Henry County in 45-50 minutes.”

Located approximately 35 miles northeast of Louisville, Henry Henry County is made up of a number of small communities. New Castle is the county seat. Campbellsburg, Eminence, and Smithfield are County is easily accessible by Interstate 71. If you would rather all cities with retail areas. Brent says the rest of the county is composed of take the path less traveled, there are plenty of country roads that smaller communities that might not have stores but they have churches connect Henry County with surrounding Shelby, Oldham and and homes. The Henry County Harvest Showcase is the largest all-local Trimble Counties. The estimated population is approximately agriculture festival in the state. It attracts farmers and craft people from 15,500 and growing, due largely to the affordable housing all areas of the county. Everything featured in the showcase has to be made or grown in Henry County. Most communities also host their own market and its prime location to Louisville as well as Lexington Town Days.

About half of Henry County’s population works outside of it, usually in nearby plays like Oldham County, Jefferson County, or Carroll County. Although agriculture is the main industry there, Henry County also has some medium-sized manufacturing plants. Some of the products made there include rolled steel, copper, speakers, exhaust systems that are used by Toyota Motors, and there is also a recycling plant.

Brent says the biggest change in Henry County over the last decade has been the investment in its schools. Henry County has modernized its education to keep up with its growing population. Another attraction for many people is that Henry County only has a property tax. Brent says homebuyers relocate there because of the lack of occupational taxes.

Henry County also has a large amount of outdoor amenities for its population of about 15,000. The Henry County Country Club has a swimming pool and a golf course.

There is a new park system, a winery, and the 137-acre Lake Jericho offers recreation for people who like to fish or boat.

However, Brent says the Henry County’s best feature is its size and slow pace.

“We still have a sense of community here,” he explains.

“There are lot of opportunities for people to get involved, from various churches to volunteer fire departments to serving on various school-related boards and community. People can really make a difference here.”

Southern Indiana Welcome to Southern Indiana! Three of the four Indiana counties that make up the Indiana portion of Greater Louisville - Harrison, Clark and Floyd each have their own identity, offer stable and diverse economies, excellent school systems and many other innovative features which add to the reasons why Southern Indiana is a great place to work, live and raise a family.

In 2012, an independent audit of the cost of living and doing business around the nation has added Clark and Floyd Counties to the Cost of Living Index and has calculated that the metropolitan region offers businesses and residents an attractive, cost-effective environment. Clark and Floyd Counties’ composite index figure of 87.4 and Louisville’s figure of 89 are below the national average cost of living index figure of 100%, indicating that goods and services in the region have costs that are below the national average.

Reasonable land costs and availability of entry-level, mid-priced and high-

end homes offer newcomers some compelling reasons to relocate to Southern Indiana as well. Quality builders and developers are dedicated to providing the best in new home construction and design to make home ownership affordable and available in all price ranges.

By 2016, the Ohio River Bridges project will be completed. This will add two new interstate bridges over the Ohio River, and thereby strengthening Indiana’s motto of the “Crossroads of America.” Southern Indiana is poised for rapid growth in the coming years and we hope you consider joining our dynamic community.

Harrison County is a place where a trip to Emery’s Ice Cream Shop and Butt Drugs will satisfy both your sweet tooth and your taste for nostalgia. It’s a beautiful rural escape, where winding scenic roads give plenty of reasons to take a drive or feed the alpacas at Flatwoods Farm.

Clark County, IN Located just a stone’s throw from Downtown Louisville, Clark County is a place that is as ambitious as the famous explorer for which it is named. It’s where gardens are more than just gardens and where thousands of people migrate in the fall to find just the right pumpkin. In Clark County the beauty of the Ohio River is celebrated and preserved in a community that embodies an invigorating enthusiasm for a promising future.

Clark County is founded on a unique history that includes an important role in the famed Lewis & Clark Expedition. The George Rogers Clark home site in Clarksville has been designated by the National Park Service as an official site associated with the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail where Meriwether Lewis and William Clark (younger brother of George Rogers Clark) established a base camp and later departed for their expedition to explore the West on October 26, 1803.

Today, Clark County offers residents modern conveniences and an easy-going lifestyle in a beautiful environment. Home to Jeffersonville and Clarksville, Clark County has an estimated population of 111,951, making it the second largest county in the Greater Louisville area.

The Falls of the Ohio encompasses more than 220 acres of the world’s largest exposed Devonian-aged fossil beds. In addition to special events held throughout the year, the Falls of the Ohio attracts thousands of nature lovers and curious adventurers to Clark County. The Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center is a centerpiece for the park and features a full-size mammoth skeleton, plus exhibits on geology, history and cultural development.

Along with its historic artifacts, the beauty of the area is highlighted in many of Clark County’s parks, including the 24,000-acre Clark State Forest, Indiana’s oldest state forest. Deam Lake Recreation Park in Borden also provides an abundance of water sports, camping and picnicking. Charlestown State Park, one of the state’s newest parks, is quickly developing to be its largest as a result of newly acquired land from the U.S. Army.

Sightseeing & Attractions Louisville has eight National Historic Landmarks, and two of them are related to the Belle of Louisville, the oldest operating Mississippi River-style steamboat in the country. The two landmarks are the ship itself and its dock, which was once used by the U.S. Coast Guard as Life-Saving Station #10. Mark Doty, the Belle’s Master or Head Captain, says the Belle stands out from the many other attractions in Greater Louisville because it represents the city’s origins.

“This is the last part of the river steamboat history left in this part of the world,” Doty says. “There is so much going on in this town, right now. There is always something happening in Waterfront Park. You got the Whiskey Row and Fourth Street Live, with all the restaurant and bars. With so much excitement, it’s good to have a reminder of a time when people lived at a slower pace.”

The area has the largest contiguous collection of Victorian homes, and the third largest historic preservation district in the country. But Greater Louisville also has its eye on tomorrow.

Museums Greater Louisville’s museums celebrate the things that are unique about the area. Just as there is only one Kentucky Derby and one Muhammad Ali, there is only one Kentucky Derby Museum and one Muhammad Ali Center. Greater Louisville residents are also lucky enough to have a Museum Row that includes several great facilities in a walkable, four-block radius: the Ali Center, Frazier History Museum, the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Kentucky Science Center, the KentuckyShow!, and the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory.

There are also a host of other great museums in other parts of the community. The Portland Museum, the Speed Art Museum, and the Howard Steamboat Museum across the river in Jeffersonville, Indiana, are only a few examples. There are many options for patrons looking to educate and/or entertain themselves.

Jeanie Kahnke, the Senior Director of Public Relations at the Ali Center, says the number of museums, and the infrastructure built up around them, illustrates Greater Louisville’s commitment to culture. Greater Louisville recently started the Main Ticket program, which allows patrons to visit all of the downtown museums for one price. Kahnke says the program illustrates the kind of thinking that sets Greater Louisville apart from other municipalities.

“I’m from Washington, D.C., where they are museums everywhere, so I can appreciate what we have in Louisville,” Kahnke says. “A lot of planning went into the museums, especially downtown. It is convenient for visitors to be able to walk and ditch the car. I don’t think they could have done anything better.

It makes you proud to live in this city.”

Art Scene Greater Louisville has a diverse and thriving art scene. East Market Street in the NULU neighborhood has developed into the region’s main Art Zone.

The area is lined with galleries that specialize in painting, photography, sculpture, and the avant garde. At the other end of downtown Louisville, art lovers will find textiles at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft and glass artists at the Flame Run Gallery. In addition, the Mellwood Art Center in the Clifton neighborhood is home to many artist studios and exhibitions.

“What is unique about Louisville is that it has the performing arts, it has the ballet, it has actor’s theatre, and it has a big list of quality galleries,” says Brook White, owner of Flame Run Gallery. “There are so many good galleries and such a range of things to see. You also have the art fairs. There is the St. James Court Art Fair, the Cherokee Triangle Art Fair, and other weekend events. There are just so many different opportunities around town to stumble upon great art.”

White credits the First Friday Trolley Hop, a monthly event that allows Greater Louisville residents to park their cars and ride a trolley to the various galleries, for raising the profile of the local art scene. He also says that Greater Louisville residents and political leaders have shown repeatedly that culture is a prior in this community. The Speed Art Museum is closed for three years as it undergoes a $44 million renovation. Also, Gill Holland, an investor credited with much of the success of the NULU neighborhood, has announced plans to build affordable artists’ studios in the Portland neighborhood.

Performing Arts William Shakespeare once wrote that “All the world is a stage,” and he’ll get no argument in Greater Louisville were the performing arts are a leading pastime. Actor’s Theatre of Louisville’s Humana Festival of New American Plays is the most celebrated event of its kind in the nation. Theater fans flock to the festival each year to catch groundbreaking productions by some of the world’s hottest playwrights.

And the Bard is not forgotten either. Every summer since 1962, Shakespeare in the Park has offered free productions of Shakespeare classics in the Old Louisville neighborhood’s Central Park. The organization behind the performances also operates the Shakespeare Youth Academy, aka Camp Shakespeare, where young thespians can get their first taste of the master.

“There are literally thousands of opportunities for exposure to the performing arts in Louisville,” says Jennifer Bielstein, Managing Director of Actor’s Theatre. “We have about 500 performances a year at Actor’s Theatre alone. When you add in the events at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, the Kentucky Opera, Walden Theater, Shakespeare in the Park, Theater 502, the various art galleries, and the music venues – there are probably about 5,000 opportunities a year for some kind of artistic experience. I think that is staggering.”

One reason for all the shows is the plethora of high-quality performance venues. In 2003, the Iroquois Amphitheater went through a $10 million renovation that turned it into one of the premier spots in Greater Louisville. The Clifton Center, the Rudyard Kipling, and the Kentucky Center also offer a variety of performing arts shows throughout the year.

“

Parks are good for the

WHOLE

“

community...

- Bennett Knox, Park Administrator at Jefferson Memorial Forest

Parks & Recreation One of the most striking aspects of Greater Louisville is its topography. The area is blessed with beautiful waterways, hills, and numerous parks for people who like to ride, hike, bike, or canoe. Greater Louisville’s City of Parks initiative plans to add even more acreage for outdoor activities.

The goal is to have a continuous paved pedestrian and biking trail around Greater Louisville. One aspect of this is the Parklands of Floyds Fork, which will include four major parks linked by a park drive, a first-rate urban trail system and a remarkable water trail, all tracing the stream at Floyds Fork. Two of the parks, Beckley Creek Park off Shelbyville Road and Pope Lick Park off Taylorsville Road, are already open to the public.

Bennett Knox, Park Administrator at Jefferson Memorial Forest, says the amazing thing about Greater Louisville that most residents are only a short drive from some kind of outdoor activity. The Jefferson Memorial Forest consists of more than 6,000 acres in southwest Jefferson County and portions of northern Bullitt County.

“There is a pretty good network of people who collaborate to make our parks a major attraction for the area,” Knox says. “We work a lot with the Olmsted Conservancy. Parks are good for the whole community and we all want to promote the outdoors.”

The Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy was founded in 1989 to help preserve the eight area parks designed by noted Frederick Law Olmsted, who is responsible for 18 parks and 6 parkways in Greater Louisville. The conservancy also offers many volunteer opportunities for residents interested in helping to preserve the parks. Greater Louisville considers green areas a resource worth keeping.

Major Parks in Louisville

Central Park Fourth St. and Park Ave. 1340 S. 4th St. Located in the heart of Old Louisville, Central Park serves as the summer venue for free Kentucky Shakespeare Festival performances and the St. James Art Fair in the fall.

Parks & Recreation

Explore The Parklands of Floyds Fork

One of the many things that makes Louisville so special is its unique blend of opportunities to experience the vibrancy of its urban culture, alongside the tranquility of its green spaces. The Parklands of Floyds Fork is the city’s newest park space that offers incredible venues to simply enjoy Mother Nature, share in the natural beauty of the area and nurture your inner explorer. Designed for park visitors to experience Floyd’s Fork, a classic Kentucky stream, The Parklands is a nearly 4,000-acre planned park and recreation area that began construction in 2010 and is on track to be finished by 2015. Once completed, the four-park system will stretch from Shelbyville Road in the north to Bardstown Road in the south. Renowned park developer Frederick Law Olmsted’s guiding principals of design served as the inspirational blueprint for The Parklands of Floyds Fork.

In September, 2013, The Parklands opened 677 new acres of public park space, including the remainder of Beckley Creek and Pope Lick Parks. The grand opening weekend attracted more than 30,000 visitors and included a balloon glow, art demonstrations, guided hikes and runs through the trails, a dog training seminar, fly fishing lessons and many more activities that highlighted the ways to enjoy the new spaces. The newly opened spaces represented approximately $15 million in park development and marked the completion of the two northern parks in the four-park system. Construction on the two southern parks began in July 2013. They are scheduled to open in 2015.

Enjoy The Parklands of Floyds Fork Year-Round!

The Parklands is a four-season park where the “creek experience” of Floyds Fork offers something different throughout the year. So, mark you calendar to enjoy the newest jewel in Louisville’s treasure chest of outdoor spaces each month ...

Festivals & Major Events Greater Louisville is home to some of most unique and celebrated festivals in the United States. The Kentucky Derby Festival (KDF), a series of events leading up to the running of the Kentucky Derby, won the 2013 Gold Grand Pinnacle at the International Festivals and Events Association’s 58th Annual Convention and Expo. This is the seventh time that KDF has won this award, which is given in recognition of the best overall festival program in the world.

Other festivals in Greater Louisville celebrate local history, culture, and community traditions. Music fans look forward to the Forecastle Festival, the National Jug Band Jubilee, and Waterfront Wednesdays. Many area celebrations have ethnic roots. There is the Irish Fest, the Butchertown Oktoberfest, and World Festival, where immigrants and refugees showcase their native cultures.

“Worldfest is probably the best presentation of our internationalism,” explains Suhas Kulkarni, Director of the Office of Globalization. “We have in a three, four-day event 40-50 nationalities represented in arts and craft which is testimony that we are an international city.”

Kulkarni says festivals strengthen Greater Louisville by encouraging residents to gather in one place and create fond memories together. He believes community leaders had this in mind when they designed the waterfront because there are areas that seem tailor-made for hosting large festivals. This year was the first time Cinco de Mayo was celebrated with its own festival in Greater Louisville, and Kulkarni expects more annual events to be added to the local calendar over the next few years. When all is said and done, Kulkarni says Greater Louisville residents are always looking for new ways to have fun.

Dining There is no doubt that Greater Louisville is a foodie’s town. The area’s dining scene has been celebrated in both Zagat’s Restaurant Reviews and Southern Living Magazine, and several of the area’s chefs have been invited to the prestigious James Beard House in New York City, where preparing a five-course meal is the culinary world’s equivalent of a Broadway debut.

Bruce Ucan, owner and chef of the Mayan Café, says Greater Louisville chefs have a high standard to maintain because local diners tend to embrace adventurous cuisine. “Everything has kind of exploded in the last 10 years,” Ucan explains. “It is not only with the ethnic restaurants, but we have great Vietnamese and Middle Eastern food. There are also new concepts like Decca or Game (where you can get unusual meat like a Kangaroo Burger). I think the people in Louisville are willing to try new concepts and that inspires me and the other chefs in the city.”

That urge to try new concepts extends beyond fine dining. Louisville is the city that developed fast chain restaurants like Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Papa Johns Pizza. The area also has fine tradition of great Southern home cooking. Louisville is after all the home of the Hot Brown and Benedictine.

With so many different palettes to please, it seems any good cook can find their niche in Greater Louisville. Ucan says the key to success in the restaurant industry is consistency and a commitment to quality. Below are a few of the establishments the city has to offer. Check the websites of some of our partners for a most extensive list.

Forget the Dishes and Eat Out on the Town...

Here’s just a taste of what you’ll want to sample while making Greater Louisville your new home. There are many more restaurants that offer wonderful dining options.

Sports & Venues Calling Greater Louisville a sports town is like saying fire is a little hot. Sport is as vital in the River City as food and water. The whole region practically shuts down during the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Two-thousand and thirteen has been called the Year of the Cardinal because the University of Louisville’s Men’s Basketball Team won the NCAA Tournament, the football team won the Sugar Bowl, and the women’s basketball team made it to the finals in their post-season tournament.

“Louisville residents take their sports seriously, that’s for sure,” says Chris Hamburger, Head Golf Pro at Valhalla Golf Course, a PGA of America-owned facility.

“When I first moved to the city I was surprised at how people embraced their college basketball, and now with the recent success, they are that way with football too.

Golf even picked up in recent years. There are very few communities that support a PGA Championship and a Senior PGA the way they do in Louisville.”

Valhalla has hosted the PGA Club Professional Championship, one of the four major tournaments in golf, and the Senior PGA Championship on numerous occasions. Both tournaments return to Louisville in 2014. Valhalla also hosted the 2008 Ryder Cup which saw the United States golf professionals beat their peers from Europe. Hamburger says he hopes Valhalla will one day be as identified with Greater Louisville as Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.

Greater Louisville could be a sports fan’s heaven. There are not many places where one can see baseball, Ironmen competitions, horse racing, and skateboarding within a short drive from one another. The area is littered with sporting venues and there are competitions for all skill levels.

Spectator Sports Churchill Downs 700 Central Ave. 636-4400 or 800-283-3729 churchilldowns.com Home to the “greatest two minutes in sports,” Churchill Downs continues to do Louisville proud as it hosts the annual running of the Kentucky Derby the first Saturday in May each year. The Kentucky Derby sets the stage (or the track) for quality thoroughbred horse racing in the spring and fall. Numerous special events are also held there throughout the year.

Louisville Bats Baseball Club 401 E. Main St. 212-2287 batsbaseball.com Louisville Bats Baseball Club is the Triple A affiliate of the National League’s Cincinnati Reds.

The team’s season runs from April through early September, with games held at Louisville Slugger Field. A carousel and children’s playground area make it a wonderful venue to enjoy the game for both adults and kids alike.

University of Louisville Cardinals 852-5151 uoflsports.com Members of the American Concerence, soon to be members of the ACC, U of L competes in 21 major men’s and women’s sports. If you plan to catch a football game, remember that tailgating at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium begins early on game day. The men’s and women’s basketball teams play their games in the new KFC Yum! Center.

Other College Sports Louisville prides itself on being one of the best college sports towns in America. In addition to U of L, Bellarmine University (home to 2011 men’s

national basketball champions) fields 16 NCAA Division II competitive teams and competes in lacrosse at the Division I level. Spalding University is home to the Golden Eagles and plays at the NCAA Division III level. Across the river, Indiana University Southeast competes at the NAIA level. (“Big Blue” fans only have to travel about an hour east on Interstate 64 to cheer on the University of Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, Ky.)

Major Sporting Venues Freedom Hall Kentucky Expo Center 937 Phillips Ln. Tickets – 367-5144 kyexpo.org Freedom Hall can accommodate about 19,000 people. The multi-purpose facility is also a popular venue for horseback riders and a variety of musicians and performing artists, including ice skaters, wrestlers, circus performers and many others.

KFC Yum! Center One Arena Plaza Tickets – 690-9090 kfcyumcenter.com The 22,000-seat KFC Yum!

Additionally, the 700,000-plus square feet facility is designed to host a wide variety of other events including NCAA championships such as wrestling, swimming and volleyball, as well as concerts, circuses, wrestling, gymnastics, boxing, concerts and ice shows, among other events.

Louisville Slugger Field 401 E. Main St. 212-2287 batsbaseball.com Slugger Field, home of the Louisville Bats features a retro-classic design and has become one of the most admired parks in all of baseball, featuring sweeping views of the Ohio River and

downtown Louisville skyline.

Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium 2800 S. Floyd St. south end of UofL campus Cardinal Tickets – 852-5151 louisville.edu/athletics/papajohns With its state-of-the-art construction and fanfriendly environment, Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium is one of the finest stadiums in the nation.

Participatory Sports It’s easy to stay active in Greater Louisville! Whether it’s running, hiking, tennis, golf, horseback riding or fishing, there are plenty of places to perfect your game or develop a passion for sports. And, it’s a great place to introduce sports to the kids. Information about parks and recreation, such as sledding, skateboarding and other fun activities can be found at metro-parks.org or louisvilleky.gov. The Louisville area boasts 13 golf courses. There’s even a local adventure vacation outfitter to customize your experience in Greater Louisville and beyond (Green Earth Outdoors). Here are a few venues that host sportsrelated activities.

“

you get the feeling like

HEY

I’m in Louisville

“

- Summer Auerbach, President of the Louisville Independent Business Alliance

Shopping The fact that there are three independent vacuum stores on Bardstown Road tells you a lot about shopping in Greater Louisville. The region has its share of large retailers and a lot of modern shopping malls, but buying local is also a priority for a lot of consumers. With a retail market like that, sometimes you end of with more choices than you expected.

“What we have, and what is good for the community, are vibrant, walkable areas,” explains Summer Auerbach, President of the Louisville Independent Business Alliance. “When you get these little stretches of road and land like a Bardstown Road, a Frankfort Avenue, NULU on East Market, or Westport Village, you also get these clusters of independent businesses. That’s when you get that feeling like, ‘Hey, I’m in Louisville.’”

Auerbach says the large center like the Mall in St. Matthews, Oxmoor Mall, Jefferson Mall, and the Paddock play an important part in the local economy. But she says independent businesses set themselves apart by emphasizing customer service and working with other small companies to give customers things they won’t find in larger stores. “LIBA tries to stay positive,” Auerbach says. “We don’t try to make people feel bad for shopping at Target or Wal-Mart. We try to emphasize the good things that come out of supporting local businesses. Until it’s brought to their attention some people don’t even think about it.”

Auerbach is also a fan of the City Center, a project focused on increasing retail, restaurant, and office space in downtown Louisville. LIBA’s motto is Keep Louisville Weird and they want all the help they can get. Greater Louisville’s mix of big and small stores is a win for local consumers.
