For Neighborhoods (formerly the Louisville
Community Design Center) worked on this project
in association with the Metropolitan
Development Authority (MDA) and was assisted
by the Preston
Corridor Task Force (PCTF). Community
work sessions were held to determine the needs
and opinions of neighbors and businesses regarding
the enhancement & revitalization of the
Preston Corridor. The Corridor extends
along Preston Highway from Eastern Parkway
to the Watterson Expressway. |
