For Mayor Craig Greenberg, living Jewishly means seeking paths toward justice

February 24, 2023

On Jan. 2, 2023, 49-year-old Craig Greenberg began his tenure as Louisville’s newest mayor. A product of Ballard High School, the University of Michigan and Harvard Law School, more recently he was the CEO of 21c Museum Hotels, which he co-founded with Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson in 2006. While campaigning on Feb. 14, 2022, Greenberg survived an assassination attempt when local activist Quintez Brown fired three shots at him. A bullet pierced Greenberg’s sweater, but he was physically unharmed.

A year and a day after that incident, Greenberg sat down with Community Managing Editor Andrew Adler to chat about how his Jewish values have helped shape his perspectives on life and politics. Below are excerpts from that conversation, lightly edited for length and clarity.

He was part of development projects downtown — with mixed success

Greenberg's work downtown wasn't always easy.

As a co-developer for 111 Whiskey Row, a rehabilitation project in downtown Louisville, Greenberg saw a project go up in flames in July 2015.

Three buildings were damaged and the side of one building collapsed in the blaze, The Courier Journal previously reported. The three-alarm fire was reportedly started by an accidental spark from an unattended construction worker's torch.
