Millions approved for West End projects under new Louisville budget
Politicians have come up short trying to help Louisville’s West End in the past, but the latest budget invests $10 million for revitalization in the area.
“And the fact of the matter is that those economic deficiencies that you see that have led to vacant, for instance, and abandoned properties has exacerbated that situation,” state Sen. Gerald Neal (D-Louisville) said.
Neal and Rep. Pamela Stevenson (D-Louisville) pushed a new effort to get some investment in the city’s poorest neighborhoods called the West End Opportunity Partnership.
“There are a lot of bright, smart people in West Louisville, a lot of talent, and now we get to demonstrate that,” Stevenson said.
