  • Quality of Place

  • At its heart, Louisville is a city of possibilities, a place where big-thinking businesses and imaginative individuals can see their ideas take root and grow. That sense of opportunity can be seen throughout the 13-country region, which offers varied landscapes and lifestyles for any kind of company and every kind of person.

    In Louisville, entrepreneurship and business growth are the organic result of a hard-working and well-educated workforce combined with forward-thinking civic and business leadership.  But our quality of place isn't just about how we work, it's about how we live and how we play.

    Quality of PlaceTour downtown on foot and you’ll find Humana, LG&E, PNC, Louisville Slugger Museum, the Muhammed Ali Center, Glassworks, the Henry Clay and 4th Street Live.  Professionals can live, work and play in downtown Louisville - enjoying an urban lifestyle that doesn’t require a six-figure salary. 

    You can picture suburbia, right?  Faceless cookie-cutter developments sprawling from the edge of downtown to the outer belt of any given city.  Think again.  Louisville fans out from the riverfront into dozens of unique and tightly knit neighborhoods, each with their own identity. The Highlands, St. Matthews, Park DuValle, Shawnee, Anchorage, Lyndon, Fern Creek, Butchertown,…

    Move out into the surrounding counties and you'll find multi-acre plots, charming smaller towns, vineyards, distilleries, horse farms and more - all within easy driving distance of the urban center.

    So as you think about where to grow your company, where your employees will put down roots and raise their families, where the students of today will be your workforce tomorrow, think of Louisville.
