Neighbors:
What’s Happening: The Urban County Council is continuing discussions about the Lexington Preservation & Growth Management Program (LPGMP) – a new data-driven approach to guide how our city grows over the next decades.
How to Get Involved:
- Public Meeting: September 16, 2025, 6:00 PM, Government Center Council Chambers
- Online: Visit https://engage.lexingtonky.gov/LPGMP to review documents. Public surveys have closed.
- Ongoing: Sign up for updates and future engagement opportunities
Why It Matters to You:
- Determines where new housing and businesses can be built
- Protects agricultural land and existing neighborhoods
- Ensures adequate infrastructure for new development
- Creates accountability for using existing city land efficiently
Key Changes Coming:
- Future growth decisions will be based on data, not politics
- Priority for development within existing city boundaries before expansion
- Stronger community voice in growth decisions
- Protection of important agricultural areas
What Happens Next: The FINAL draft of this plan is scheduled for presentation December 2, 2025. The program won’t affect current development but will guide future decisions starting in 2030. Your input now shapes how our community will grow for decades.
