Second Committee of the Whole on the Comprehensive Plan

City Council met again on Wednesday, April 26th at 10am to continue their discussion of the “Imaging Lexington 2045” Comprehensive Plan Goals & Objectives. They will meet two more times before they vote to adopt these goals for the city. All Committee of the Whole meetings take place in Council's regular chambers at 200 East Main Street.

Update:

Councilmembers discussed Themes A, B, and C related to Lexington’s neighborhoods, environmental protections, and job creation.

Councilmembers talked about adding more intentional and specific language to many of the Goals and Objectives, including:

• supporting low-income and unhoused communities

• targets and benchmarks for goals on carbon neutrality and sustainability commitments

• promoting “prosperity for all” and eliminating barriers to homeownership and employment

The only scheduled meeting that will allow public comment is on May 9th at 5pm. Make sure to attend if you want to weigh in! That said, all of these meetings are open to the public and you can attend in person or watch live on LexTV.
