Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton says strong financial management makes the city-county government strong. Gorton delivered the annual update to business, civic, and community leaders Tuesday. The mayor says the citywide sewer overhaul is at the halfway point.
During a briefing she said a major project along Euclid Drive begins this year. “It will be disruptive. The public will have to experience going on different streets when they can’t get through on the street they know and love and is part of their every day route,” said Gorton.
Council Member Angela Evans says many capital projects are underway and that’s enough for now. “There’s so many projects in the works and already happening. I don’t know if there’s going to be an appetite for anything new,” noted Evans.
Mayor Gorton says a group studying city financial issues including revenue generation will be offering a report soon.
