LOUISVILLE, Ky. There are millions of dollars left to be spent in Louisville s budget, with funds carried over from the 2020 fiscal year. The leftover funds are from the $26 million of CARES Act funding Louisville received from the federal government to help with coronavirus response and recovery.
On Tuesday, Metro Council s budget committee held a special meeting to begin discussing how the funds should be spent but delayed a vote on the proposal as councilmembers voiced concerns with the plan.
