We are a coalition of citizens dedicated to achieving sustainable growth in Lexington-Fayette County through land use advocacy, education, and promotion.
As the voice for sustainable growth, we believe that preserving our unique and productive Bluegrass farmland, advancing innovative development, and improving our infrastructure are essential to our collective success in Lexington.
Since 2006, we have worked with city-hall to usher over 60 major land-use policies into law that further sustainable growth. Through our efforts at government and beyond, we positively impact planning and zoning laws – which are the building blocks of a better quality of life, economy, and environment for all of us. See “How We’ve Made a Difference”
Join today, and together we can achieve a world-class city in a world-class landscape in Lexington.
