Looking at the development of Lexington from the 1950s through 1980s, a panel will discuss the impact of that development on the walkability of the city. Panelists will include Mandy Higgins, director of the Lexington History Museum; Jeff Fugate, former head of Lexington Downtown Development Authority; and Urban County Councilwoman Hannah LeGris.

They came from different circumstances, with unique problems, and had their own talents. But they shared one thing in common. They were survivors— or as we like to say in the South, they had gumption.

This beginner workshop is all about the who, what, and why of local government. We’ll help you understand how Lexington’s local government is structured, who is in charge of what, and how legislation gets made. The workshop includes an interactive activity to learn more about the people behind local government.
