LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Council got an update Monday night on the effort to bring another grocery store to an underserved part of town, most likely in the west end.
The city is currently in negotiations with a developer to make the grocery store happen.
With a focus on equity, Metro Council in 2020 budgeted $3.5 million to bring a community grocery store to a place like west Louisville, which many call a food desert — a place where fresh, affordable food is hard to find.
On Monday, city officials said several developers responded to that request and that they hope to reach an agreement soon.
