Yesterday, we broke ground on a new Family Scholar House modular housing complex. Rachel and I are so excited for this project because we've seen the incredible work Cathe and her team have done in this community.

6 days until State of The City where I will give my annual State of The City Address, I hope to see you all there!

Special thanks to Di Tran and the Saint John Vianney Vietnamese Catholic Church members for decorating one of our beautiful Metro Hall Christmas trees. vietbaolouisville.com/2024/12/a-smal…

We have about 2,400 vacant and abandoned homes and buildings across the city about 15% of Louisville Fire Department runs are to abandoned buildings, including houses. @loukyfire @LMPD @LouMetroES

Metro Government is launching a new Abandoned Properties Team led by Deputy Mayor David James and Deputy Mayor Nicole George. We’ll also be taking steps to make it harder for trespassers to gain access to these homes and use them as hideouts. @DepMayorNGeorge @DavidJamesKY

Exciting news - @uofl has been named the championship host for the 2026 Field Hockey Championships and the 2027 Men’s Basketball First and Second Rounds. This is a fantastic opportunity for Louisville and a testament to the excellence of our university and city. Read more ⬇️

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Here’s my full statement: barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-o…

Thank you President Biden for your historic and impactful leadership. You have made our city & country stronger and are showing, once again, selfless public service with your decision. Your legacy for America and our democracy will live on for generations.
