The Louisville Metro Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission approved the designation of the Chickasaw Neighborhood as a local preservation district on June 25, 2025, with a 9-0 vote, and recommended it for ratification by the Metro Council. The Chickasaw Neighborhood Federation spearheaded the campaign, which included 1.5 years of neighborhood meetings and canvassing. The district is bounded by W. Broadway to the north; the Ohio River to the west; Winnrose Way, Fordson Way, and Colmar Drive to the south; and Louis Coleman Jr. Drive to the east. While the neighborhood was designated a National Register District in 2024, this status does not provide protections. The local preservation district status will establish a design review process for exterior changes, with regulations to be determined by the neighborhood and design guidelines reviewed by the Landmarks Commission and Metro Council. The designation requires ratification by the Metro Council to become official.
