Together we have kept Louisville thriving this past year, and I am proud to have helped lead the way on City Council. We adopted the Downtown Vision Plan to revitalize the heart of our beloved City, we enhanced the City’s support for new, expanding, and relocating businesses, and we secured CHIPS zone designations to incentivize semiconductor manufacturing at the Colorado Technology Center and Redtail Ridge. We streamlined review processes for certain development applications, encouraged diversity of housing options by permitting accessory dwelling units, and eliminated outdated residential parking minimums. We approved a King Soopers Marketplace at the former Lowe’s site, hopefully the anchor for west Louisville’s future neighborhoods. We passed new policies to mitigate wildfire risk, and we laid the foundation for Louisville’s partnership in regional emergency preparedness and management. We preserved the iconic home at 1016 Main Street, and we continued to landmark historic homes throughout Old Town Louisville. We supported retention of EPA’s endangerment finding on greenhouse gas emissions, reinforcing the science underlying the City’s climate goals. We connected with residents at the Louisville Farmers’ Market and with businesses at regular Business Beats. And, most importantly, we hired a new City manager who has been doing excellent work since her first day on the job.
