Downtown Lexington is seeing additional affordable housing units. A ribbon cutting Monday opens the door to more housing options in the East End.
Six new townhouses are situated at the corner of Race and Third Streets. The $1.6 million townhouse complex is one of several developments the Housing Authority has built without federal or local dollars. It was funded through stewardship of fees received from other federal developments. Austin Simms has served at the Housing Authority for 50 years.
