Friends of Uptown Lexington

The revitalization efforts in Uptown Lexington continue to bring positive results. There are new businesses and restaurants.  Business and property owners are investing in properties.  Uptown businesses welcome more visitors as Lexington becomes a stronger destination stop along Interstate 85, adding to the growing number of attractions in Davidson County. We see great opportunities and hope we can count on the support of our friends to make it happen.

Uptown Lexington, Inc. is working to redevelop Lexington’s oldest and most important properties, one-by-one. Plans provide for mixed-use development with upper-story residential and office uses, along with street level retail and restaurant uses. Our Façade Improvement Grants have helped to fund new awings, upgraded windows, and improved signs on Uptown’s storefronts. We also have a fun side and have set the dates for the always popular Christmas Open House, Groundhawg’s Day and Uptown Strolls.

Pigs in the City continues to bring visitors from across the world to uptown Lexington. Decorated by talented area artists, these pigs make our uptown streets and businesses even more fun and attractive for everyone to visit. 

Uptown Lexington Inc. is a private non-profit corporation that depends on its friends to help make more improvements possible. Please take a moment to complete this form and return it to us with your tax deductible contribution.
