Lexington's public and private interests continue their efforts to increase affordable housing in Fayette County. Officials gathered for a ribbon cutting Wednesday at Polo Club Park Apartments. The 24-unit complex for seniors 55 and over is situated in the Hamburg area of Lexington. Charlie Lanter is the commissioner of housing advocacy and community development. He said a real effort is being made to spread out affordable units.
“What we like to do is get as many as we can in as many different areas of town so that people have choices. Just because you need affordable housing doesn’t mean you should be limited as to where in the city that you’re able to live,” said Lanter.
