Mayor Jim Newberry and the members of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council invite everyone living in Lexington-Fayette County (Kentucky) to help develop a shared community vision – a common sense of direction for our community's future.
The purpose of Destination 2040 is to craft a consciously chosen dream that has the widespread support, quality, commitment, and follow-through needed to endure.
Destination 2040 is organized around a root question about the tough choices we need to make together at this time: "How will we protect all that we value while continuing to grow as a community?" It is necessary to come to widespread community agreement on how to respond to this question if Lexington-Fayette County is to move into the top tier of the world's great places to live, work and visit.
