City Of Lexington Economic Development Strategic Plan

The strategic plan for the City of Lexington focuses on amenity development, business recruitment and retention, residential development, entrepreneurship, marketing, and education. It aims to make strategic public investments to support long-term, sustainable economic growth, with the Depot District evolving into an entertainment, cultural, and retail hub. The plan builds on the city's assets, such as uptown, young entrepreneurs, and a collaborative partnership with many agencies, while addressing challenges like socioeconomically challenged demographics and perceptions of the school system.
