A lengthy meeting of Lexington’s Planning Commission included a long line of speakers, offering comments about the Goal 4 report. It includes a recommendation to, at some point, consider developing some 27-thousand acres outside the current urban service boundary. Jim Shropshire, who lives on a family farm off Old Richmond Road, worries it could become, quote, “an island in a sea of development.”
“Our fear on seeing the proposed map is that the history and productivity of our farm may one day disappear,” said Shropshire.
