Richard Rowland Jr., doing business as Prime8 Investors LLC, has submitted a Tobacco Ordinance application for a mobile cigar lounge operating out of a 24-foot Vโnose utility hauler at 411 S 4th St, Unit 109. The record notes the unit falls under the Louisville smoking ordinanceโs 80% threshold and is not defined as a building per LMCO 90.02, so this appears to be a true mobile cigar lounge rather than a brick-and-mortar shop.
Christopher Thompson has applied for a blanket open-burning permit for fire training in 2026 at 1501 West Hill St. Owned by Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government, the permit covers multiple burns at the fire-training facility from January 1 through December 31, 2026, so donโt be alarmed if you see planned smoke and drills around the property throughout the year.
