Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton’s proposed budget for fiscal year ’25 includes $24 million for a new senior center that would be built near the fire station at Shillito Park. Kristy Stambaugh is the city’s director of Aging and Disability Services. She said the new satellite center – Lexington’s fourth, along with the main center on Life Lane – is needed for several reasons.
“Before COVID, we were averaging almost 400 people a day. And we're close to that again. Oftentimes, we've reached capacity in our group fitness classes, and our art classes, we always have a waiting list.”
