DEMOGRAPHICS / ECONOMY

Metropolitan Louisville’s economy first developed through the shipping and cargo industries based on critical water and rail transportation links. Today, that prowess continues with the presence of the Worldport air hub for United Parcel Service and the crossroads of three major interstates. Evident by the list of major employers, Greater Louisville is also an emerging center for the healthcare and medical sciences industries and large health insurance organizations. This area also takes pride in the large array of successful small, independent businesses and restaurants known for their ingenuity and creativity.
