We want to attract the "creative class" of people back to Louisville,
want business to locate here with good jobs to offer but our metro council often
takes the opposite approach such as this. Please call your council person to
oppose construction moratorium ordinance.
There are three statements (*) at the bottom of this message that you can make
with your call. Thanks.

*******************************************************************
I am writing to you again about the Portland Moratorium. It has gotten out of
committee now. This is a critical issue that needs your urgent attention! We
all need to contact our council person about the Portland Moratorium, please
take action before this goes further. We are opposed to this moratorium since it
would limit peoples housing rights, limit housing choices and affect the housing
stock available in the Louisville area. Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton (D)
and Councilman Willie Bright (D) have filed an ordinance with the Metro Council
to:
*Impose a moratorium on the issuance by the Louisville Metro Department of
Inspections, Permits and Licenses for the construction of new residential
structures within the Portland neighborhood.
*Moratorium applies to any major or minor subdivision application received after
the effective date of this ordinance.
Please call your councilmember to let them know your opinion about this or any
other proposed moratorium. If you do not know who your councilperson is you may
call 'Metro Call' at 574-3333 to find out. When you call give them your name and
tell them that you are a voter in their district. You may call other
councilmembers where you work or have any interest in.
Tell them:
*I am calling to ask you to oppose the construction moratorium ordinance.
*A neighborhood construction moratorium sets a bad public policy for the entire
city and hurts real estate values and jobs.
*The Metro Council should seek investment incentives, rather than moratoriums to
spur economic development.
CALL YOUR COUNCILMEMBER NOW!
