Lexington Designated SolSmart Bronze for Advancing Solar Energy Growth
The Town of Lexington is receiving a Bronze designation from the national SolSmart program for making it faster, easier, and more affordable for homes and businesses to go solar.

This designation recognizes Lexington for taking bold steps to encourage solar energy growth and remove obstacles to solar development. For companies looking to expand, a SolSmart Bronze designation is a signal that Lexington is “open for solar business.”

SolSmart is led by The Solar Foundation and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. More than 380 cities, counties, and small towns have achieved SolSmart designation since the program launched in 2016.
COVID-19 Guidance for Returning Travelers, Students During Thanksgiving Holiday
Many college students and other travelers will be returning home to Lexington for Thanksgiving to celebrate the holiday, some students may be staying to finish their semester remotely. The virus does not take breaks for holidays. 

It cannot be stressed enough that a negative COVID-19 test alone is not a guarantee of safety for loved ones and the community.

Families should take precautions above and beyond producing a single negative test to keep everyone safe and healthy, such as continuing to wear a mask and social distance.

Although we understand returning college students are eager to see their friends, we are asking parents to discourage their college-age students from casual socialization with friends indoors and in groups.
