On behalf of Commerce Lexington Inc., its 1,900-plus members, and the Bluegrass business community, I would like to welcome you to one of the best cities in the world.

From exceptional schools to a diverse economy and well-educated workforce to its stronghold as a regional healthcare center and the nearly billion dollars in development you’ll see going on downtown, the “buzz” about Lexington is real and stretches around the world. The area continues to pile up highly coveted economic rankings from some of the most notable publications and survey organizations.
