The fundraising goal has been met and now the work begins on Town Branch Park in the heart of downtown Lexington. It took seven years to gather private commitments totaling $39 million. Challenges included a pandemic right in the middle of that campaign. Allison Lankford is the executive director of Town Branch Park.
“In some ways, we wanted to change the culture of philanthropy and grow philanthropy in Lexington with this project. You know, there were a lot of doubters in the beginning. But, we’ll never be able to say again in Lexington…that we can’t do something like this,” said Lankford.
