Mayor’s Neighborhood Summit
The Mayor’s Neighborhood Summit provides an opportunity for discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing neighborhoods and our city as a whole. Mayor’s Neighborhood Summits were introduced by Mayor Linda Gorton in June 2019.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and public health guidelines, the next Mayor's Neighborhood Summit will be virtual. The virtual three-day series will take place November 17 – 19, with topics that include Lexington’s Public Works and Infrastructure, Mayor’s Commission for Racial Justice & Equality and COVID-19 in Fayette County.
Each day of the Mayor's Virtual Neighborhood Summit will focus on one of these specific topics. There will be one-hour panel discussions regarding the topic, and pre-submitted questions will be answered.
Each day's session will be aired live on LexTV (Spectrum channel 185, MetroNet channel 3, Windstream channel 3 and 20), or live stream at lexingtonky.gov/lextv.
If you have a question on these topics that you'd like addressed during these panel discussions, you can ask it now. Submit your questions before November 17 by emailing summit@lexingtonky.gov. You can also submit your question by calling (859) 258-3117.
