After a narrow vote, the La Grange City Council has approved an ordinance that modifies the city’s current business licensing tax.

A proposed ordinance in front of the La Grange City Council is sparking a debate over the city’s business license fees.

The section in question lies with language regarding attorneys and how the license applies to them.

Critics of the proposed law, including Councilman Jason Taylor, say the changes are a precondition to practicing law by placing a fee on attorneys that do not have offices in the city and that there are multiple legal issues associated with the proposed language.

After an absence of several years, cancer patients in the La Grange area will once again have the option of receiving their chemotherapy close to home.

On Feb. 18, Baptist Health La Grange and the CBC Group: Consulting in Blood Disorders, will open a six-chair chemotherapy treatment area on the second floor of the Physician Office Building.

This is the second outpatient chemo treatment area for the practice, which is part of Baptist Medical Associates. Treatment is also offered on the 3Park cancer care unit at Baptist Health Louisville campus.

When it comes to event space, one of the region’s best-kept secrets is sitting in plain sight in Pewee Valley.

The space, 314 Exchange, is located in Pewee Valley right next to the town’s city hall. The dark brick building has been a staple in the area for decades. It was originally a railroad station, then a telephone exchange, before it’s recent revival as a premium event space.

The building’s time as a telephone exchange is reflected in its name and use of the original façade, owners Laura and Kevin Hall said.
