Top issues during term (20)(Development)
Wesley Oaks Senior Living Expansion Bond
No direct city cost — it's conduit debt issued in the city's name only.
Old Manslick Road right-of-way closure
Removes the right-of-way from the city's paving list.
Humane Society pet resort expansion on Bardstown Road
No direct cost to taxpayers; the nonprofit funds the roughly 896-square-foot grooming building itself.
Development plan for 9718 Dixie Highway and 5308 Citation Road
Significant public funds have already been spent on Dixie Highway safety medians; Joseph asked for data showing whether they worked.
Vacant lot reuse through landbank programs
Sales prices are nominal ($1 and $500), but rehabbed homes return properties to the tax rolls.
Alley closure between N. Peterson Avenue and Frankfort Avenue
Once closed, each of the 49 adjoining owners becomes financially responsible for maintaining their half of the former alley.
Honorary street naming for Rev. Deacon James and M. Annette Turner
Honorary signs cost the city little, but they carry real meaning for the families and neighborhoods involved.
Wesley Manor senior living expansion financing
Up to $6.2 million in conduit debt paid entirely by Wesley Manor, not Metro.
Multifamily housing near Old Manslick Road
Removes the right-of-way from the city's paving list.
Metro board and commission appointments
MSD board members oversee sewer utility policy that affects ratepayers' bills; the other boards influence hotel tax, preservation, and NuLu design review.
Extension of expiration for 1209 & 1211 W Broadway hotel project
No direct cost to taxpayers; the extension affects only the developer's timeline.
Parking waiver for Klausing Homeroom landscaping business
No public funds involved; the developer builds and maintains the extra parking.
Four-plex at 1715 Bolling Avenue
Adds four housing units to the Russell neighborhood without city subsidy.
Student Housing on West Broadway
New retail construction on a long-vacant Broadway outparcel, though the loss of the Greyhound bus station could affect transit riders in the area.
Preston Highway multifamily development neighbor impacts
The property owner owes the full $1,000 fine.
Drive-thru retail center on Taylorsville Road
Roughly $2.5–3 million in road improvements borne by the developer if the project proceeds.
Belvedere redevelopment funding
Over $100 million reportedly committed so far, with another $15 million proposed for FY27.
Powerhouse/Campground Road hyperscale data center
Residents fear utility rate increases as infrastructure is expanded to serve data centers.
New Cut Road Apartments compliance saga
The owner must fund the parking reconfiguration and driveway closure to stay in compliance.
