Lexington city leaders will be looking to a consulting firm to help develop a master plan when it comes to land use growth in Fayette County. Members of the Urban County Council’s General Government and Planning Committee got a briefing on the Urban Growth Management Advisory panel’s recommendation. It calls for adding 3000 acres to the Urban Service Area. Jim Duncan is the Planning Director. He said the TSW Planning firm will be asked to make land use and infrastructure suggestions.
“But we’ve also asked this consultant to provide some information about the cost of services. So, what’s it going to take to provide the infrastructure to begin with and then what will it take the government to continue to service that infrastructure into the future.” Said Duncan.
