LOUISVILLE, Ky. (December 3, 2025) 鈥� Today Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg announced that board members from the city鈥檚 economic development non-profit, the Louisville Economic Development Alliance (LEDA), and its Chamber of Commerce, 夜色直播 Inc. (GLI), are creating a committee aimed at exploring how the two organizations could harness the expertise of both entities to better serve and grow existing local businesses in Louisville and across the region.

鈥淟ouisville is on a roll with great wins this year from Ford, GE Appliances, Texas Roadhouse and Yum! Brands,鈥� said Mayor Greenberg, who also serves as Chair of LEDA鈥檚 Board of Directors.聽 鈥淭his is a perfect opportunity for these two organizations to explore how they can more closely work together and focus on continuing that momentum as we strive to grow and attract new businesses large and small.鈥�

LEDA is coming off a record-breaking year with more than three billion dollars in capital investments and 2,768 new jobs.

鈥淎s we look ahead to Louisville鈥檚 next era of growth, we have an extraordinary opportunity to rethink how we serve this region and the businesses that call it home,鈥� said Trevor Pawl, CEO of LEDA. 鈥淓xploring a deeper strategic relationship with GLI allows us to imagine a more unified, innovative, and agile approach to economic development and deliver even greater value to the businesses that power our region and those looking to locate here.鈥�

The partnership was discussed in today鈥檚 LEDA executive committee meeting and was previously voted on by GLI鈥檚 executive committee. The leadership teams of the two organizations are in the beginning stages of exploring how working more closely together could create synergies and better serve and grow current businesses and those looking to locate in Louisville or the region. The two organizations will keep the community briefed on progress as discussions between LEDA and GLI continue over the first quarter of 2026.

Today, GLI also announced that Lance Mann, Louisville Market Leader for Dean Dorton, will serve as Interim President and CEO of the organization. Mann has served on GLI鈥檚 Board of Directors聽since 2021, Executive Committee since 2024, and currently serves as Chair of GLI鈥檚 Finance Committee. He also serves on LEDA鈥檚 Board of Directors. Mann will take the helm of the regional chamber on January 1.

GLI serves as the region鈥檚 chamber of commerce, representing thousands of businesses and employees across the 15-county region through advocacy, talent attraction, regional economic development, and economic inclusion programs.

鈥淥ur city and the entire 夜色直播 region are at an exciting point where strategic partnerships and more intentional alignment could take our community to even bigger heights. I am excited to work with Lance, Mayor Greenberg, Trevor, and all the stakeholders involved in these conversations to ensure our business community is taking advantage of all the opportunities in front of us now and in the future,鈥� said Camilla Schroeder, President of Advance Ready Mix Concrete and Chair of GLI鈥檚 Board of Directors.
