Some say the plan is shortsighted given Louisville’s lack of affordable housing. "This is not a decision the school did flippantly,” said a Collegiate spokeswoman.
Louisville Collegiate School is “evaluating next steps” after being denied permission to tear down three aging apartment buildings to make way for a surface parking lot that would serve the elite private school’s Cherokee Triangle campus.
The private school has owned the Yorktown Apartments for more than a decade and already emptied the buildings of tenants earlier this year.. The school’s plan drew criticism because Louisville faces a shortage of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income people.
