Lexington has an aggressive planning program with the oldest Urban Service Area growth boundary in the United States. However this iconic American landscape has lost more than 80,000 acres of farmland to development during the past decade due to expansion of this boundary. The loss of agricultural lands causes a large net increase in the carbon footprint of the Bluegrass region. Maintaining the current Urban Service Boundary helps ensure our agricultural industries remain economically viable. The five-year Comprehensive Plan now under development calls for keeping the current Urban Services Area boundary- thereby preserving our farmland.
