Louisville officials plan ‘massive’ volunteer cleanup ahead of Kentucky Derby

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (FOX 56) — Historic flooding has led to city leaders planning an equally historic community cleanup initiative during what would normally be Thunder Over Louisville.

The Louisville Metro Police Department put the word out on social media around 11 a.m. on Friday, saying officers aren’t trying to arrest or fire anyone — they simply need the community to show up willing to help pick up debris left by Mother Nature.
