Grow Smart Academy is a free, five-session program designed to educate Lexingtonians on land-use planning and its relationship to our community’s economic development, environment, and quality of life. The Keynote Session,
Retrofitting Urban Sprawl in Lexington with Galina Tachieva, will serve as our
kick-off event to Grow Smart Academy on TUE, MAY 7 from 5:30-8:00pm at the historic Kentucky Theatre.
Fayette Alliance is excited to feature
keynote speaker, Galina Tachieva, the award-winning author of the
Sprawl Repair Manual, a publication that focuses on the retrofit of auto-centric suburban places into complete walkable communities. With more than 25 years of expertise in sustainable planning, urban redevelopment, and form-based codes, Galina will be providing examples of how residents and city officials can work to more efficiently use our land and make Lexington a more walkable, pedestrian-friendly city.
This program is open to all community members seeking to make a positive impact on our community's future. Register
