Louisville Metro Government’s Department of Economic Development and Greater Louisville Inc., the metro chamber of commerce, have received the 2024 Mac Conway Award. Site Selection Magazine chose to jointly give the two the award for excellence in economic development.

This is the eighth straight year that the Louisville Metro Government’s Department of Economic Development has received the award in tandem with GLI.

“The Mac Conway award is a testament to the value of regional collaboration. Over the past 10 years, Greater Louisville Inc. has promoted the benefits of regionalism; through our collaboration with 15 regional partners, including Louisville Metro, we have brought new jobs, investment, and talent to the region,” said Sarah Davasher-Wisdom, president and CEO of GLI in a press release from Site Selection Magazine
