All projects will be located in the Louisville Metropolitan area or the City of La Grange. 

No persons, families, or businesses will be displaced by any of these projects.  No significant environmental impact is expected from these projects.

Comprehensive Planning: The projects are in general conformance with the comprehensive land use and transportation planning of the area, and are included in the FY 2022 Annual Element of KIPDA’s Transportation Improvement Program and Unified Planning Work Program. 

Elderly and Disabled: The projects proposed to be undertaken by these grants include special services for the elderly and disabled of Louisville and Jefferson County.  A detailed description of these elements for these projects will be included in the grant applications.
