Location
Louisville has been described has the gateway to the north... and to the south; an entry to the west...or in the middle of it all. Louisville is all of this. We are within a day's drive of two-thirds of the U.S. population and the eclectic hub of 26 surrounding counties in Kentucky and Indiana.

Our central location, combined with strong transportation infrastructure and UPS Worldport, have made Louisville renowned for logistics. But location also contributes to our quality of place. While companies move product, people are also moving from place to place, inside and outside of the city.

Louisvillians have access, easy access, to our community amenities and the world beyond the merged city/county line. Whether by road (pick a direction from three intersecting interstates) or by runway (fly cheap out of SDF), Louisville's transportation system brings out-of-town attractions and far-away family within reach.
