LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The National Park Service (NPS) has awarded Louisville Metro Government (LMG) a $30,000 'Underrepresented Community Grant'.
Officials say NPS is conducting a survey of the James Taylor-Jacob School neighborhood and is nominating the area for a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
A spokesperson for the Mayor's Press Office says the survey is expected to begin this spring and LMG will hire a consultant to complete it.
Officials say the work will look at Jacob School Road, which includes the Jefferson Jacob Rosenwald School, and the James Taylor Subdivision.
A spokesperson for the Mayor's Press Office says the Louisville Metro Office of Planning & Design Services will talk with the neighborhood association and residents throughout the process.
Officials say Louisville applied for the grant following a neighborhood planning process that discussed possible eligible historic districts in the James Taylor-Jacob School neighborhood.
A spokesperson for the Mayor's Press Office says the James Taylor-Jacob School neighborhood survey and nomination is one of the 21 projects throughout the United States that recently received a grant.
