More immigrants continue to make central Kentucky their home. Lexington Multi-Cultural Affairs Coordinator Isabel Taylor said 2006 found 27 languages in the public school system’s learning English programs. In 2022, Taylor noted that number has grown to 96 different languages. Members of the City Council’s General Government Committee got an annual Global Lex report last week. Afterward, Taylor said that growth demonstrates a need.
“It says that we need better infrastructure to be an international city. Because we already are an international city and so we need to catch up with who we are,” said Taylor.
