Neighborhoods in Louisville and across the country are undergoing demographic shifts and reinvestment that have led to rising property values, physical changes to the streetscape, and in some cases the displacement of longstanding residents. How has this process impacted Louisville neighborhoods? What are the public policy, economic, and social impacts? A panel moderated by State Representative Charles Booker (D-43) will take on these questions and more. Stacie Williams, director of the Center for Digital Scholarship at the University of Chicago and author of Bizzaro Worlds will join the discussion along with Laura Grabowski, director of the Metro Vacant and Public Property Administration, and members of the Portland community.
