Sheetz is Coming!

Back in October the City Council approved a major re-zoming permit for Sheetz restaurant and gas station.

Citizens have been asking for a Sheetz for years and we will now have one by November of 2013.

Student Town Hall

On Election day, November 6th, I hold a town hall style meeting for our students at Lexington Senior High.

I have been holding town halls all over the city during this first year and felt we had over looked our children.  Thus, the full assembly at the High School.

The questions were great and I hope the students learned a lot about their importance and roll in making our city grow.

Fox8 Feature

Neil McNeil contacted my office the other day and asked if he could feature me on one of his Newsmaker segments for Fox8.  This is always good press for our city and of course I said, "Yes."



See the link below and thank you to Neil and Fox8 for featuring our wonderful city and it's bright future.

City's 1st ever Youth Council


I had the honor to host a dinner this past week that I feel will pay big dividends for our city.  I asked the council several months back to help form a City of Lexington Youth Government Council.  This past week I hosted the dinner for the first ever LYGC.  These young people are dedicated to this community and their voice needs to be heard.  I would like to welcome the appointees and look forward to working with them and hearing their input for the city.
