Building & Maintaining Livable Cities – Everyone’s Responsibility

By Knox van Nagell | March 9th, 2010 | See all in Events, Upcoming Events, What's New

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.

Building and Maintaining Livable Cities – Everyone’s Responsibility by Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Charleston, S.C.

Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. is widely considered one of the most visionary and highly effective governmental leaders in America.  First elected Mayor in December 1975, Mayor Riley is serving an unprecedented ninth term.  Under his leadership, Charleston has increased its commitment to racial harmony and progress, achieved a substantial decrease in crime, experienced a remarkable revitalization of its historic downtown business district, seen the creation and growth of Spoleto Festival U.S.A., built the beautiful Waterfront Park, developed nationally-acclaimed affordable housing, and experienced unprecedented growth in Charleston’s size and population.   Mayor Riley has led a city government with an impressive record of innovation in public safety, housing, arts, and culture, children’s issues, the creation of park and other public spaces, and economic revitalization and development.  The City of Charleston is recognized as one of the most livable and progressive cities in the United States.

Who We Are

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 by fixing our sanitary sewer and stormwater systems are key components to achieving our economic and environmental promise here in Lexington-Fayette County.

We are an alliance of citizens from the entire community, including stakeholders from the agricultural, neighborhood, and infill sectors. See "Who We Are" We are a united voice for responsible growth, and only weigh-in on those land-use issues that have countywide implications. Together we can chart our future, and positively impact local zoning decisions—the very building blocks of our community. See "Our Successes"

If you want a better quality of life for all of us, please join The Fayette Alliance today for free.
