Issues
2014
On his campaign website, Hartley addressed the following issues:[3]
Neighborhoods
- Excerpt: "Neighborhoods are the foundation of all great cities. Our neighborhoods create the positive energy essential to the well being of our outstanding community. I will work with local leaders to ensure that our neighborhoods remain viable."
Local Business
- Excerpt: "While large corporations attract many new residents to Louisville, it's our neighborhood independant businesses that create the quality of life that makes these new residents want to stay and raise their families here. Let's support the small businesses that have already located in the 9th District through engagement and continued financial support. Then, let's support efforts to attract new neighborhood entrepreneurs that will complement our already vibrant business corridors."
Urban Sustainability
- Excerpt: "District 9 has been the model for community-wide sustainability. I support the expansion of the Green Triangle initiative, the Tree Canopy Project, landscaped traffic circles, and the preservation and maintenance of all public green space, including our parks."
VA Hospital Relocation
- Excerpt: "The VA Hospital on Zorn Avenue has delivered quality care to our deserving veterans for generations. The Federal Government has made the decision to relocate the hospital. I want to work with residents to make sure that the building and grounds are not abandoned and fall into disrepair. It will take community engagement to ensure that the property is transitioned and repurposed from a hospital into a productive and mutually beneficial enterprise."
