It is foolish to delude ourselves into believing that national business leaders would be so naive as to believe Louisville actually doubled its population overnight, as a result of the merger referendum. Actually, that is precisely what Indianapolis did. When it adopted Unigov in 1969, the city began an aggressive marketing campaign, noting that it had gone from being the nation's 26th largest city to the 12th largest. Indianapolis garnered tons of favorable publicity in the national media.
Perception can become reality.
We could do the same kind of marketing in Louisville. Today, Louisville ranks 61st. Lexington ranks 68th. Use of this site signifies your agreement to the Terms of Service. Send questions and comments to The Webmaster .
