Louisville Metro Council approved the designation of the Chickasaw neighborhood last week. The neighborhood will be adopting temporary guidelines modeled after Clifton’s as it assembles a committee of its own.
Each district has a design review process for all exterior alterations, demolition, and new construction.
The Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission — which you can join, by the way — regularly holds public meetings, so keep your eye on the Louisville Metro Council schedule.
Visionaries Theodore Scowden and Charles Hermany launched the city’s “quest for pure water,” laying a foundation that George Warren Fuller would later build on through landmark filtration experiments.

Now, Louisville Water delivers 131 million gallons daily to nearly a million people, all while leading the industry in science and innovation.
Remember the $1 billion development announced for the old JeffBoat site a few years ago? It could be moving forward thanks to a $20 million grant from the Lilly Endowment. (WDRB)
