Downtown Lexington
The Alliance strongly supports the Downtown Masterplan, and aims to participate in those LFUCG discussions that will recommend ordinances and programs to the Council for adoption. Such legislation will give the Masterplan “teeth” and establish a broad regulatory framework for redeveloping downtown. We’ll keep you posted.
Learn more about the Downtown Masterplan.

Polo In The Park 2009
The 3rd Annual Bluegrass International Cup at Polo in the Park, was held on Saturday, July 18th, 2009 to benefit the crucial efforts of Bluegrass Conservancy and The Fayette Alliance.
Over 750 supporters attended the benefit at the Kentucky Horse Park’s scenic Man o’ War field, and watched an exciting polo match between Baroness’ Team U.S.A. and Gainesway Farm’s Team South Africa. Team U.S.A. scored the winning goal in the last minute of the match, prevailing over South Africa 10-9.
Party goers also enjoyed dinner, live music by popular 80’s cover band “The Spazmatics”, and a silent and live auction featuring an exclusive painting by acclaimed local artist Andre Pater, along with other unique field-sport experiences.
The Bluegrass International Cup had unprecedented success this year, by doubling corporate sponsorship and raising substantial funds for Bluegrass Conservancy and The Fayette Alliance.
Sponsors were Gainesway Farm, Baroness, UK Healthcare, Fasig-Tipton, Central Bank, Hagyard, Davidson, & McGee Associates, Theory, Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting, Equine Insurance, Middlebrook Farm, Nursery Place, The Pond Lady, Stephen Hillenmeyer Landscape Services, Blood-Horse Publications, Smiley Pete Publishing, WLEX-18, and WUKY Radio.

Madison's Capitol
Madison, WI Neighborhood
Director Knox van Nagell attended the Chamber’s leadership trip to Madison, WI.
Madison is a great city with a vibrant, human scale downtown. It also has a thriving university, extensive bike trails, and a flourishing $9 billion agricultural economy… All it takes is innovative planning and visionary leadership! Needless to say, The Alliance looks forward to promoting Madison’s lessons here in the Bluegrass.
