This is a friendly reminder about our upcoming neighborhood association meeting on Thursday, October 17 at 7 PM. The meeting will be held in Room 244 at Lafayette High School.

We have two important topics on the agenda:

  1. Lexington Long Term Planning Update: Representatives will discuss the potential impacts on our neighborhood and provide insights into upcoming projects.
  2. Lexington Parks Sustainable Funding Initiative: Our guest speakers, David Lowe and Virginia Meyer from the Lexington Parks and Recreation Board, will present an overview of the Parks Sustainable Funding Ballot Initiative. This proposal seeks to establish a dedicated fund for city parks through a portion of Lexington’s property tax. A referendum on this issue will be on the November 2024 ballot. David and Virginia will provide details and answer questions about this important topic.

Please use the library door to the right of the main entrance to enter. Our board members will be there to help direct you (see photo).

We hope to see you there!
