BrightSites
BrightSites are mini botanical gardens located across the metro area. Studies show that green oasises such as these build civic pride and inspire neighbors to keep the area looking its best. Project BrightSite was started in 1987 with the purpose of taking small parcels of city-owned property and partnering with businesses or other agencies to get plant material donated and keep the newly-landscaped area maintained. That tradition continues today.
Ribbon Cutting held for new BrightSites at the Westport Road Interchange The recently-opened Watterson Expressway interchange at Westport Road has been upgraded this fall with the addition of four new BrightSites. The green spaces around the interchange have been landscaped to make the area more visually appealing.
This project is a great example of what we can achieve when community partners work together to realize a common goal. Special thanks to Council Members Downard, Fleming and Stuckel for sponsoring the irrigation system. Thanks to Hall Contracting of Kentucky for their generous sponsorship which covered the costs of landscaping and plant materials, and to the suburban cities of St. Matthews, Windy Hills, Graymoor-Devondale and Woodlawn Park for sponsoring the ongoing maintenance of the sites. Thanks to all our BrightSite sponsors!
