The Fayette Alliance congratulates Mayor Joseph P. Riley on his visionary leadership and accomplishments in the city of Charleston. We look forward to promoting his lessons in Lexington-Fayette County–to make it a world-class city in an already world class rural landscape. We also thank the Gaines Center for organizing Mayor Riley’s talk and allowing The Fayette Alliance to be a co-sponsor of this remarkable event.

The Fayette Alliance is Lexington’s ONLY land-use advocacy organization that regularly educates and lobbies local government for a sustainable growth model that benefits all of us.
We believe that preserving our signature Bluegrass landscape, creating a dynamic and equitable cityscape through infill redevelopment, and improving our natural waterways are key components to achieving our economic and environmental promise here in Lexington-Fayette County...
