BOB: Meriwether-Fort Hill

Our third BOB program will focus on the Meriwether-Fort Hill neighborhood in District 15. We have a TON of great things planned for this installment of BOB and, as always, we’re focused on bringing services directly to residents.

Whether you’re a resident, business owner, or general a do-gooder, we’d love to have you be a part of BOB!

Are you a resident?

Residents of Meriwether-Fort Hill can select FREE services for their property, such as smoke detector installation, tree plantings, home repairs, mobile doctor visits, and a whole lot more! On our BIG BOB Day (or before!), we will bring these services directly to residents.

We’ll be going door-to-door in January and February with a menu for residents to make their selections. If you’re not home when we knock, we’ll leave a door hanger with all the information you need. Residents can also fill out the form online by clicking the button below.

Community Planning Meetings

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

There will be two community planning meetings for residents and stakeholders to give input about what they would like to see in their community:

Tuesday, March 18, 2025
6 pm - 8 pm
The Bard
511 East Burnett Ave
Saturday, March 22, 2025
10 am - noon
Preston Park
416 Augustus Avenue

The meeting on March 18th will include a presentation about BOB and will be all indoors with seating. Plus, we’ll have pizza from Craft House Pizza!

The meeting on March 22nd will start at Preston Park and small groups will be assembled to walk through the neighborhood to engage in an activity to determine existing desirable aspects of the community and identify areas that needs improvement. Each small group will cover a different area of Meriwether Fort Hill and will be led by a District 15 representative. Before you take off, enjoy a donut from Nord’s Bakery!

CLAIM A FREE TREE

THE BEST PART: WE’LL PLANT IT FOR YOU!

As a part of BOB: Meriwether-Fort Hill, the neighborhood is partnering with Louisville Grows to do a neighborhood tree planting. Residents can claim up to three free trees for their property. All trees are native species and will be responsibly planted on your property. All you have to do is promise to water and love your new tree(s).

Trees will be planted on Saturday, March 8th. If you’re interested in volunteering, please email outreach@louisvillegrows.org.

Since trees are planted in the cold season, this planting won’t coincide with our BIG BOB Day. However, when BIG BOB Day rolls around, these trees should add some wonderful new greenery to the neighborhood!
