						"The Sierra Club endorses a vote of NO on Ballot Measures 300 and 301. These measures do not support climate resilience, and they will make it prohibitively expensive to build any new housing, including affordable housing. "

						"“These measures may sound appealing, but they will hurt the small businesses that make Louisville thrive, raise costs on employers, and halt affordable housing. We stand with the City Council, AdventHealth Avista Hospital, Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, the Sierra Club, and other business and community leaders in opposing 300/301."

						“Flatirons Habitat for Humanity joins the other organizations of Louisville Together in opposition to ballot measures 300 and 301.  We strongly believe these ballot measures will make it much harder for us to build affordable housing in Louisville, depriving many hardworking residents of the opportunity for home ownership.  We sincerely hope the voters of Louisville turn down these measures."

						"As one of Boulder County's leading proponents for permanently affordable housing, Thistle Community Housing works with stakeholders who share our commitment to inclusive, attainable housing. We oppose Ballot Measures 300/301 because they will make it harder to build new affordable housing for families and seniors."

						“These two measures are a Trojan Horse – they sound nice, but their impact would devastate Louisville’s economic revitalization in places like Downtown and the McCaslin Corridor.”

						"These initiatives pretend to solve problems, but what they really do is create new ones — legal, financial, and practical. They’re the wrong tools for the job, and they’ll hurt the very people they claim to help.”

						"These ordinances are most troubling because they make it sound like they too are supportive of affordable housing and sound financing.  Their effects are cleverly hidden to stop almost all development with goals that while sound good, are unattainable."

						"For over 30 years, the Louisville Downtown Business Association has dedicated its work to promoting vibrancy, economic vitality, and the success of downtown businesses. While we support affordable housing, Ballot Measures 300 and 301 will actually counter any real efforts for affordable housing, making it even more difficult to live and work in Louisville. If you support Louisville's Historic Downtown, the businesses, future opportunities, and the ability of owners and employees to live where they work, the Louisville DBA urges you to vote NO on 300/301."

 - We value solutions that bolster economic vitality, build up Downtown and the McCaslin Corridor, and keep families in Louisville.
 - We stand for fair policies that encourage affordable housing, support community services like Avista Hospital, and attract major employers.
 - We oppose mandates that drive up costs, discourage investment, and make it harder for families, workers, and businesses to thrive here.
 
															Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes
The “Rezoning for Affordability” and “Development Pays Its Own Way” ordinances may sound good on paper. But in reality, they’ll drive away developers, shrink housing options, and ignore the real needs of families and working professionals. 
Join us in standing together for a thriving, equitable, and future-ready Louisville.
