The re-development of what was once the Davis Bottom area near downtown Lexington has been a lengthy process. Ground has been broken on a project signaling more progress.
Officials gathered at the physical starting point for the building of a 38 hundred square foot community center off DeRoode Street. In addition to a gym, it will house conference rooms, a technology room, space dedicated to the unique history of the neighborhood, and office space for the Lexington Community Land Trust. Mayor Linda Gorton said the community along with federal and state players have worked on revitalization for 25 years.
