LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Lexington city advisory committee is moving closer to making a recommendation about how the city’s urban service boundary should expand.

Lexington’s city planning commission settled Thursday on what could be the final boundaries for the city’s expanded urban services area, sending a revised map to a master planner.

OpEd: The year was 1996, and it was the last time the Urban Service Boundary was expanded – with 5,330 acres being brought in for potential development.
