LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Council voted to approve the new Metro Council redistricting maps Thursday evening.
The changes were made based on the 2020 U.S. Census data which showed Jefferson County's population grew by more than 40,000 people between 2010 and 2020. The data also showed a population shift as more people moved from west to east.
According to council members, they focused on equal representation when redrawing the boundaries.
