• Shively residents push for grocery store amid plan to improve area (wlky.com) — Shively’s newly approved Area Plan aims to bring a full-service grocery option back to the neighborhood while also guiding more housing and safer roads. Residents and local leaders say the loss of Kroger has left a major fresh-food gap, especially for people relying on buses. The plan explores incentives and even a mini-mart marketplace concept to create jobs and improve daily life.
