What’s your vision for Lexington’s future? The city’s Planning Department is seeking public input for its 2045 comprehensive plan – Imagine Lexington 2045.
“The Comprehensive Plan is a visionary roadmap for our city's long-term growth and development,” Senior Planner Valerie Friedmann said. “The Comprehensive Plan guides decision-making and shapes our community's future by setting clear goals and strategies. That's why public engagement is at the heart of the planning process; we value every voice and have implemented an inclusive public engagement strategy to ensure a comprehensive range of voices are heard.”
Imagine Lexington 2045 centers around five themes: Building Successful Neighborhoods, Protecting the Environment, Creating Jobs and Prosperity, Improving a Desirable Community, and Urban and Rural Balance. The themes can be viewed on the Imagine Lexington website.
