Metro Council passes resolution to restore King Louis XVI statue

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS)— A Louisville Metro Council committee has passed a resolution to restore the King Louis XVI statue in downtown Louisville.

The Government Oversight and Audit Committee voted 6-4 for the resolution, but no cost was given.

The statue was removed from the corner of Sixth and Jefferson St. in September after it was broken and spray-painted several times during protests.

The resolution now goes to the full council for a vote.
