Picture this:: Louisville has grown to include over a million residents, there are 20,000 more trees across town, and the KFC Yum! Center is home to a WNBA team — what should we call them?

That future is part of Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg's vision for the next 15-20 years, as outlined in his Growing Louisville Together plan. Greenberg released a 52-page draft last week, saying he hopes it will place Louisville, "among the great cities in our country."

Quick facts:

Here are some high level things you should know about this draft:

It's been in development since mid-August
It came about after two public comment sessions and six meetings with ~80 community stakeholders
Two professional consulting firms were used: Ginovus + Thomas P. Miller & Associates

Creation of a flagship waterfront festival with music, food, and water-based activities any examples of this?
Construction of another pedestrian bridge, connecting the Portland neighborhood to Shippingport Island + the Falls of the Ohio State Park in Indiana
A multi-million dollar renovation of the Belvedere, an idea Greenberg has spoken about before
Launch a Center for International Diplomacy at the Muhammad Ali Center through partnerships with the Universities of Louisville + Kentucky
