Where
Hilary J. Boone Center - University of Kentucky
500 Rose Street
Lexington, KY 40506
Driving Directions
Change has come to some of Lexington's oldest neighborhoods, particularly in the North and East End. Houses that have been occupied by local residents, either as property owners or long term renters, are being purchased, renovated and put back on the market at sale prices and rental rates that may not be affordable for local residents. How can renewal and improvement in these neighborhoods take place while addressing issues of affordability, race, class and neighborhood diversity? What must Lexington do to get this right?

Moderator Tom Martin will lead four panelists in a 10-15 minute discussion and then the floor will open for audience interactions. Our panelists for the the day will be:  Rock Daniels,  Van Meter Petit,  Tanya Torp, and  Christian Torp
