Goss Avenue Beautification
In 2014, with the assistance of then Metro Councilman Jim King and University of Louisville urban planning students, SACC drafted plans to improve Goss Avenue, one of the Schnitzelburg’s main streets. The project is ongoing we continue to improve walkability, emphasize small businesses, slow traffic, and beautify the commercial corridor.
Plant Stand
SACC built a plant stand for neighbors to easily swap plants. Neighbors with a super green thumb or those with an abundance can leave a plant and those who are looking to add greenery to their space can grab one! The stand is located at Emerson Gardens in Emerson Park.
