There is nothing we can do related to recruiting business or people, addressing housing issues, or anything else without a safe city.\u00a0 This is primarily measured through a reduction in homicides but it can also include reductions in overall violent crime, property crime, and other measures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is your top local priority in 2024?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Beyond public safety, I continue to focus on development.\u00a0 Over the past 5 years, District 19 has been the fastest growing district by far.\u00a0 We are #1 in single family<\/li>\n<li>\nresidential development and #2 in multi-family residential growth.\u00a0 Further, we have some of the most environmentally sensitive areas like the Floyds Fork DRO.\u00a0 I will continue to focus on how we grow in a sustainable manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What role can the business community play in helping Louisville grow?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, we need the business community to engage in community leadership positions to help break through the mediocrity that we have experiencing for years in Louisville.\u00a0 This includes sometimes taking difficult public positions to push back against those who would block transformative and future focused development projects and ideas.\u00a0 Second, they can think about their role in the city overall and participate in supporting local initiatives that align with their objectives and\/or strategies.\u00a0 Government itself will never pull off a transformative growth strategy for Louisville without significant leadership and partnership with innovative organizations in the private sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLI engages in advocacy at all levels of government, but works especially closely with local government to ensure a business-friendly environment.
