Greater Louisville has consistently been recognized by Places Rated Almanac as one of the best places to live in the United States. Louisville exudes friendly charm even though the metropolitan area boasts a population of approximately one million. Located on the banks of the scenic Ohio River, Louisville lies between St. Louis and Cincinnati. At the heart of three major interstates, I-64, I-71 and I-65, getting to Louisville is easy from any direction. Louisville offers a mild climate, inexpensive living, world-class health-care facilities, outstanding transportation modes, a wide choice of recreational pursuits, internationally renowned theater and arts, and a healthy, expanding economy. Over the past five years, the greater Louisville region has added more than 50,000 jobs, $3 billion in payroll growth and well over $1.5 billion in business investment -- a record that few communities its size can match. |
