Mayor’s Neighborhood Summit goes virtual
The next Mayor’s Neighborhood Summit will take place online due to COVID-19 restrictions, Mayor Linda Gorton announced today.
“We started the Mayor’s Neighborhood Summit program last year to provide information and resources to neighborhoods across Lexington,” Gorton said. “Last year’s summits had great participation and involvement from citizens across the city. Unfortunately, we cannot have in-person gatherings at this time, but we can have a virtual summit.” A virtual format will still allow the City to provide information, and to answer questions.
The 2020 Mayor’s Virtual Neighborhood Summit will take place over three days, and cover topics on public works and infrastructure, the Mayor’s Commission for Racial Justice & Equality, and COVID-19 in Fayette County. Each day will feature panelists who will discuss how these issues are affecting Lexington. They will also answer pre-submitted questions from the public.
