Written by: Josh McCurn, Haymaker Company ![]() November 14, 2024- Leadership Lexington Class of 2024-25, affectionately dubbed the “Best Class Ever,” added a new accolade to their name: “Most Fiscally Responsible.” During Government Day, participants were immersed in the multifaceted operations of local government, gaining insight into the roles, challenges, and opportunities that define Lexington’s governance. For many—including myself, with a previous background at LFUCG—it was both a chance to revisit familiar ground and an opportunity to explore new initiatives shaping our city’s future. Written by: Jyre Richardson, From Here to There Moving![]() For our first Leadership Lexington session, we had the privilege of touring Lexington and hearing from and speaking to multiple historians. We began our day at the Downtown Lexington Public Library, hearing from Mr. Dudley Webb of The Webb Companies. He regaled us with stories of the history of Lexington, or the “world's largest national park”, as he called it, thanks to the various organizations restricting our physical growth. Mr. Webb commented on the past and present dynamic of Lexingtonians wanting progress, while simultaneously opposing too much change.
