The Lexington Now meeting on February 16, 2026, covered several community and infrastructure topics. Key procurement and contracting discussions focused on the city's stormwater grants program, which provides funding for private and commercial projects to mitigate stormwater issues, including stream restoration and permeable pavers. The program is funded by 10% of the previous year's water quality management fee revenue, with application deadlines in May and July. Additionally, the meeting highlighted the completion of a $3 million renovation of the downtown Lex Tran Transit Center, improving customer service areas, employee amenities, and accessibility features. The transit center upgrades aim to enhance rider experience and support upcoming pilot programs like the downtown circulator and micro transit service. These initiatives reflect Lexington's investment in sustainable infrastructure and public transportation improvements.
