Friends of Louisville Public Art, LLC v. Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Historic Landmarks & Preservation Districts Comm'n
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the judgments of the court of appeals and circuit court affirming the decision of the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Historic Landmarks & Preservation Districts Commission to approve the application of the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government to remove a certain statue, holding that the lower courts erred.
In 2018, Louisville Metro filed an application to move a statue located in the historic Cherokee Triangle Preservation District. The application was deemed denied. On appeal, the Commission voted to approve the application. The parties opposing the application filed a complaint and appeal. The circuit court and court of appeals affirmed the Commission's decision. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that certain members of the Commission had a patent conflict of interest in the underlying decision, resulting in a denial of procedural due process.
