LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A center that provides after school and outreach programs is hoping to expand.
Employees at the Portland Promise Center said they want the city of Louisville to rezone a building on Baird Street.
Portland Promise Center board member Drew Watkins said, "We're exploring some options right now, but we'd like to provide opportunities for job training and job skills and to provide some employment opportunities to people in the community and disperse some economic growth for the Portland neighborhood."
The building is currently zoned as industrial. The Louisville Metro Council will have to approve rezoning.
