Meeting to discuss ideas for Distillery District set for Thursday

The public is welcome to voice ideas regarding Lexington's proposed Distillery District at a public meeting on Thursday.

The meeting, hosted by the city's Division of Engineering, will be 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Carver Center Cafeteria, 522 Patterson Street.

The Distillery District, a proposed arts and entertainment area, is along Manchester Street between Forbes Road and Oliver Lewis Way and includes some large buildings that once were distilleries, according to a news release.

Flyers have been sent out to inform residents of Irishtown, Speigle Heights and Melrose Oak Park of the meeting.

Comments and ideas can be emailed to project engineer Bob Bayert at bobb@lexingtonky.gov.
