The Lexington Urban County Council’s Committee of the Whole voted Thursday to expand the city’s Urban Service Boundary by between 2,700 and 5,000 acres. Councilmember Preston Worley suggested the 5-thousand figure, and said the expansion would help solve the city’s affordable housing shortage.
“Despite its best intentions, in practice, our policies are doing us harm. In practice, failure to expand, failure to see future needs has basically said that those who have little or none should have less.”
