Nominate an Unsung Hero

This year’s Leadership Lexington class is preparing to launch the inaugural Lexington Unsung Heroes Ball at the Longship Club in August. The event aims to honor community members for their impactful contributions to our city that often go unnoticed. Before the night is over, seven people in public and civil service positions will be honored for their efforts that benefited the greater good. Project Leader Bilal El-Amin says, “We are proud of the city we live in, and we want to be intentional in recognizing the good things happening here.”

The Planning Committee is asking the public to join them by nominating deserving people for an award. This is an opportunity to recognize a person with a strong commitment to Lexington who has gone above and beyond in service to our community and to let them know their selfless dedication is making a difference. Visit www.lexheroball.org to nominate.

Zoning moves forward for soccer

Lexington Sporting Club is well into its first season, playing at Toyota Stadium in Georgetown, and with a complex of fields located at AthensBoonesboro. Lexington Urban County Council approved a zone change in late April that classifies 5380 and 5354 Athens Boonesboro Road a Highway Service Business, or B-3, which would make stadium construction one step closer to a possibility in the neighborhood.

LSC majority owner Bill Shively told the HeraldLeader, “It’s going to be difficult to build at Athens. It’s not a commitment right now that we can make… There are places that are extremely interested in having us.”

An alternative development plan has also been proposed that would site the stadium in Brannon Crossing/ Nicholasville/ Jessamine County.
