Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton says the local government has one and only one focus, meeting the needs of 325,000 people. During her annual State of the Government Address on Tuesday, the mayor told hundreds at Central Bank Center, quote, “it’s that simple and that complicated.” Gorton talked about issues like public safety, affordable housing, parks, and economic development. Gorton said the city’s one-stop shop program is expanding.
“Starting this March, Open Counter will allow employers and others considering a construction project in Lexington to look virtually at the available property and its zoning, the permits needed, and almost every other aspect of the development process,” said Gorton.
