Summary
The city is asking Metro to approve annexing two tracts, including about a half to three-quarters of a mile of Chenoweth Run Road near the amphitheater and Veterans Park. Once approved (or after 60 days), the land becomes part of Jeffersontown — which could mean city services and city taxes for that area.

City Council - Sep 15, 2026
A technical fix to the annexation ordinance before it goes to Metro Council — voter and property-owner percentage figures were misplaced. Speed matters: adoption after December 31 means a year of services before billing.

City Council - Aug 4, 2026
The city started the formal process to annex two tracts near Chenoweth Run Road. Louisville Metro now has 60 days to approve it, or it becomes law automatically. New areas could mean expanded city services and tax base.
City Council - Jul 7, 2026
The council approved annexing two tracts along Chenoweth Run and Taylorsville Roads, bringing roughly 17 homes into the city. Residents split over it: some want city police and services, others object to higher taxes and say notification was inadequate. It still needs Metro Council review and wouldn't take effect until January 1.
City Council - Jun 1, 2026
Norton's broke ground this week, and the police chief and public works both warn it will stretch staffing. The city is also eyeing annexing surrounding property out toward Gene Snyder, which adds plowing, sanitation and planning costs.
