Let’s Celebrate the Great Quality of Life in Jeffersontown
The City of Jeffersontown and its leaders are moving forward in 2021 with an invigorated spirit, energy and commitment as we emerge from the challenges of 2020.
After last year, we look around our city with a different lens on life and have a renewed appreciation for the Mayor Bill Dieruf community we have worked hard to improve.
The Jeffersontown City Council, city employees and I realize that our efforts truly have provided an ideal place to make your home, go to work and enjoy life.
We have enjoyed getting back into the swing of our busy event schedule, and we look forward to work beginning on Phase II of our Veterans Memorial Park improvement project.
As other items on these pages indicate, we have a full lineup of events this summer — for the most part
