Green Up for the Breeders’ Cup

The following is a guest post by Angela Poe, a Program Manager for Public Engagement with the LFUCG Division of Environmental Services.

Green UpLexington is busy preparing to welcome guests from all over the world to our community for the Breeders’ Cup.  One such effort has Keep Lexington Beautiful (KLB) partnering with the Division of Environmental Services (DES) and the Corridors Commission to “green up” the main corridors leading into town. KLB solicited corporate sponsors for the professionally designed wildflower beds that DES is installing and will maintain.  The new flower beds are located at:

  • The intersection of Oliver Lewis Way and West High Street in the green space between Oliver Lewis and Cox with a smaller section in that same area where West High Street and West Maxwell come together
  • The north corner of the intersection of Newtown and West Main
  • The medians near the I-75 ramp on Newtown Pike
  • The median and road sides at the airport on Man O War

Lead sponsors include: Central Bank, R. J. Corman Railroad Group, Quantrell Subaru, and Lowe’s.  The Bluegrass Airport and Kentucky American Water also supported the beautification effort.
