Proposed State Budget Includes $100M for Downtown Louisville Revitalization
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Kentucky’s lawmakers passed the state’s two main budget bills this week.
House Bill 1 takes money from the Budget Reserve Trust Fund Account and puts it into the general fund for one-time spending projects. This bill gives money to help improve downtown Louisville.
The bill would give $50,000,000 to projects in downtown Louisville for the next two years if it is signed by the governor. These projects would focus on the Belvedere, the Community Care Campus, the LOUMED Campus, the Louisville Gardens, the Downtown Vacant Lot Revitalization, and the Butchertown Sports District.
