In our work to help transform the 15-county/2-state region we call home, GLI is incorporating the aspirations and inspiration of small businesses as well as large companies. We’re considering the needs of those opening their doors last year, just as much as businesses operating over a century. Our efforts must nurture homegrown businesses while accommodating companies that relocate to our region. We commit to working towards a supportive business environment for traditional companies such as manufacturers and logistics experts and healthcare professionals right alongside those in the high-tech, digital and creative and entrepreneurial marketplaces.

A Greater Louisville Region with an exceptional economy where businesses succeed and people thrive.
To accelerate economic growth, job creation and business competitiveness in the Greater Louisville Region.
In September 1997, Greater Louisville Inc. was formed through the merger of the Greater Louisville Economic Development Partnership and the Louisville Area Chamber of Commerce.
In early 1998, GLI became a strategic economic development partner with Metro Louisville Government, leading business attraction and expansion responsibilities for the Louisville area. Also in 1998, GLI launched the EnterpriseCorp to assist and support fast-growth, entrepreneurial companies.
Greater Louisville Inc. is private, non-profit 501(c) 6 organization. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of not less than 40 or more than 55 voting Directors as well as non-voting representative Directors who hold positions in particular community organizations that are aligned with GLI’s Mission. GLI’s Executive Committee facilitates the operation and management of the Corporation and is made up of 11 elected members from the Board of Directors. Officers include the Chair, Chair-elect, immediate past Chair, Secretary and Treasurer as well as the President/CEO of GLI.
GLI is a privately funded organization. With the exception of member dues, earned revenue from events, sponsorships and products, and a few economic development contracts, GLI is supported by private sector corporations and foundations. To access the GLI Member Directory, click here.
