Welcome to Lexington / Central Kentucky:

Statement from Commerce Lexington Inc. Regarding Ongoing Racial Tensions:
"In economic success, it’s often said that a rising tide lifts all boats within a community.  However, for far too long across our country, that ‘tide’ has not been equal for all segments of our population. Longstanding racism, intolerance and injustice continue to pervade our society, causing harm to people of color – their families, businesses and communities.  It is unacceptable, and Commerce Lexington Inc. stands with those seeking to be heard through peaceful protests and wholeheartedly supports collaborative efforts to create change across our community, the Commonwealth, and the nation.”

Our region is among the smartest, most affordable, job friendly, entrepreneurial, most inspiring, and innovative places in America.
