Empower Lexington
The 2023 Empower Lexington Plan is designed to be Lexington’s guide for a sustainable, resilient future. It will help Lexington-Fayette County adapt to both natural and manmade changes. This is a plan for the entire community, not just local government.
Fayette County residents are invited to rank the three recommendations they feel are the most important for each area. There is also the opportunity to suggest additional recommendations. Participants may choose to provide feedback for all six areas of the plan or focus only on the areas that are most important to them.
You can provide input using an online survey through August at lexingtonky.gov.
