Louisville, Ky., – Blight Out Brighten Up is back for 2015. Public Works is partnering with the Department of Codes and Regulations to sponsor the third Blight Out Brighten Up event. The event uses citizen volunteers to paint boards that are used to secure abandoned properties. Painting is scheduled for Saturday, May 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All volunteers need to bring is their imaginations. Painting necessities will be supplied.
