Crews working to save homes near Harrods Creek after April mudslide

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Crews will work to save two homes near Harrods Creek that were in danger of collapsing into the water after a mudslide.

The hillside gave away in April, leaving the edge of one home hanging over a steep drop. Now, Louisville Metro Emergency Management said a specialized contractor will work to stabilize the ground to prevent more corrosion.

According to the city, federal grant money will pay for the work, but it could take several weeks or months to complete.

"This is not something that happens often, but we are grateful there were no injuries or lives lost in Jefferson County during the historic flooding we experienced back in April," said Jody Meiman, the executive director of Louisville Metro Emergency Management. "This impacts the homeowner’s everyday life and we’re hoping in partnership with our contractor we can get things secured safely and efficiently, so they can put this behind them."
