Metro Council approves rezoning request for affordable housing near Prospect

The 178-unit development would be built off River Road past the Gene Snyder near a Kroger gas station.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Metro council members signed off on a rezoning request for a controversial affordable housing development known as Prospect Cove Thursday night.

The 178-unit development would be built off River Road, past the Gene Snyder near a Kroger gas station.

Prospect residents were not happy with the proposal when first presented with it in 2016 and their feelings remain the same; the planning commission approved the plan in 2017, but Metro Council voted against it. 

People in Prospect have expressed concerns about traffic, parking and the population increase.
