During their meeting on Tuesday, March 3, the Louisville Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a redevelopment resolution which will ultimately lead to the construction of a Jack’s Family Restaurant at the corner of South Church Ave. and Cagle St.
It is reported that Jack’s has been interested in locating a franchise in Louisville for some time and the proposal currently under discussion has been in the works since this past October. The new restaurant, along with the Tractor Supply Company, will help to revitalize that area of the City.
The Board also unanimously approved the M.P.A.C. (Making Progress Across Communities) resolution which will launch a summer program for youth beginning on June 1, with the goal of teaching responsibility, like skills, character development and much more. There are many stakeholders in this endeavor including the Winston Partnership’s Community Development and the Louisville Municipal School District.
Mayor Will Hill discusses ongoing negotiations with Bumper’s to provide concession at the park during baseball and softball seasons with the City receiving 50% of the gross revenue.
