THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE PUBLIC HEARING ON APRIL 14!
Over 300 of our neighbors came to voice our opposition to the Gilman’s Point development. It was very clear that the entire community opposes this oversized proposal.
The Council heard the proposal from LDG and then the voices of your neighbors standing in opposition.
The Council did not vote on the proposal, tabling the issue until the next Council meeting.
We will post information as soon as the meeting is announced.

Revised Plan for Gilman’s Point
Here is the latest proposal for Gilman's: 199 units, luxury apts, one entrance (Westport) 2 4-storey buildings, others are 2-storey.
St. Matthews City Council will vote at their next meeting
Save Our Neighborhood!
Date for Public Hearing will be set soon.
LDG Development Group (https://www.ldgdevelopment.com/) is proposing a 199-unit apartment project at the corner of Ridgeway Ave and Westport Rd. Ridgeway Neighbors and Friends is a neighborhood group opposed to this project for a number of reasons, including: increased traffic, design not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood homes, and inappropriate density for the area.
The project has been through one Land Development and Transportation committee meeting to determine if the technical issues have been met. There were some issues, but it was moved forward and a Public Hearing was scheduled for June 26. However, new objections were raised and the Public Hearing was canceled. If LDG corrects the issues the proposal will have to go through a new LDT committee meeting. If the project is then allowed to proceed, a new Public Hearing will be scheduled no sooner than two weeks later.

We oppose the so-called "Gilman's Point" development. This 4-storey, 199 unit apartment complex is proposed to occupy the beautiful open field at the corner of Westport Road and Ridgeway Avenue in St. Matthews, Kentucky.

Express your concerns about the proposed development. Tell Commissioner Fawcett why you think this project will cause harm to our neighborhood.
