  • "Lexington marks 5 years since first COVID-19 case, job market resilience, and community milestones"

    "Lexington marks 5 years since first COVID-19 case, job market resilience, and community milestones"
    2025/03/08
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for March 8, 2025.

    We're marking a somber milestone today as it's been five years since Lexington's first COVID-19 case. The Lexington-Fayette Health Department reports that our city has seen nearly 137,000 cases and 885 deaths over that period. While we've made great strides, they remind us to stay vigilant and continue following health guidelines.

    In brighter news, Lexington's job market is showing resilience. Recent data indicates our metro area has the highest employment growth rate since 2020 in the Cleveland Federal Reserve's district, with a 5.5% increase. This outpaces larger cities like Cincinnati and Cleveland. However, we're seeing some shifts in our local economy. The construction sector added about 860 jobs last year, while manufacturing saw a slight decline.

    Speaking of jobs, there's a new opportunity in town. Dutch Bros Coffee is hiring "broistas" for their upcoming Lexington location. If you're looking for work, they're offering competitive wages and benefits.

    Over at City Hall, there's been some discussion about revising our urban planning strategies. The council is considering proposals to increase green spaces and improve walkability, especially in the downtown area. We'll keep you updated as these plans develop.

    In real estate news, the market remains competitive. The median home price in Lexington is now around $275,000, up about 3% from last year. Realtors are advising buyers to be prepared to move quickly when they find a property they like.

    On the cultural front, the Lexington Philharmonic is gearing up for their spring concert series. They'll be performing a mix of classical favorites and contemporary pieces at the Singletary Center for the Arts next weekend. Tickets are selling fast, so don't wait to grab yours.

    In sports, the University of Kentucky men's basketball team had a dominant win against Tennessee last night, 82-58. The Wildcats never trailed and led by as much as 35 points in the second half. This bodes well for their tournament prospects.

    Looking at today's weather, we're in for a sunny but windy day with temperatures reaching the mid-60s. It's a perfect day to enjoy some outdoor activities, but hold onto your hats!

    In public safety news, Lexington police are investigating after a person walked into a local hospital with a gunshot wound last night. Details are still emerging, but authorities assure us there's no immediate threat to the public.

    On a lighter note, we're happy to report that Isabel Yates, Lexington's former vice mayor, celebrated her 100th birthday this week. The city is planning a special tribute to honor her years of service to our community.

    This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Lexington Local Pulse: Gunshot Investigation, Diversity Debate, Comic Con, and Community Resilience

    Lexington Local Pulse: Gunshot Investigation, Diversity Debate, Comic Con, and Community Resilience
    2025/03/07
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for March 7, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news from overnight. Lexington police are investigating after a person walked into a local hospital with a gunshot wound. Details are still emerging, but authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.

    In city hall news, the Kentucky House has passed a bill that would prohibit diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at public universities across the state. This decision is sparking debate among educators and students alike.

    On a lighter note, spring seems to be in the air today. We're looking at sunny skies with temperatures reaching the mid-60s, though it'll be quite windy. Perfect weather for the Lexington Comic & Toy Convention kicking off at Central Bank Center this afternoon.

    In business news, we're seeing positive trends in our local job market. Lexington-Fayette has experienced the highest rate of employment growth since 2020 in the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank's district, with a 5.5% increase. This growth outpaces many other metro areas in the region.

    Speaking of jobs, a career fair is coming up on Monday at a local venue on Street in downtown Lexington. It's a great opportunity for job seekers to connect with top employers in various fields, from government to healthcare.

    In sports, the University of Kentucky men's basketball team dominated Tennessee last night, winning 82-58 at Rupp Arena. The Wildcats never trailed, leading by as much as 35 points in the second half.

    For music lovers, there's a treat in store this evening. The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight will be performing at the Louisville Palace. It's a bit of a drive, but well worth it for classical music enthusiasts.

    In community news, we're sad to report the passing of Isabel Yates, former vice mayor of Lexington, at the age of 100. She leaves behind a legacy of public service that has shaped our city.

    On a more uplifting note, the Marksbury Family Branch library is hosting a series of exciting events this weekend, from art classes to piano recitals. It's a great way to engage with your community and learn something new.

    In today's crime report, police have arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in January. The suspect is facing charges of murder and possession of a firearm.

    Lastly, a heartwarming story from our community. Fifteen local brides have come together to support each other after claiming a wedding photographer "ghosted" them, leaving them without photos or refunds. It's a testament to the strength and solidarity of our Lexington community.

  • Lexington Local Pulse: 5 Years After COVID-19 Arrival, Measles Case, Jobs Growth, Arts & More

    Lexington Local Pulse: 5 Years After COVID-19 Arrival, Measles Case, Jobs Growth, Arts & More
    2025/03/06
    Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for March 6, 2025.

    We're starting with some important health news today. It's hard to believe it's been five years since the COVID-19 pandemic officially arrived in Kentucky. On this day in 2020, the state's first COVID-19-positive patient was confirmed right here at UK's Chandler Hospital. To mark this milestone, UK HealthCare is releasing a special episode of their "Behind the Blue" podcast, featuring reflections from eight longtime employees on those early days of the pandemic and how it impacted their lives.

    In more recent health news, Kentucky has confirmed its first measles case since 2023. Health officials are urging residents to check their vaccination status and be alert for symptoms.

    Turning to the job market, Lexington's post-pandemic employment growth is leading the pack in the Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank's district. Our city has seen a 5.5% increase in jobs since 2020, outpacing other major metros in the region. Speaking of jobs, there's a career fair coming up on Monday at the Lexington Convention Center. It's a great opportunity for job seekers to connect with local employers across various industries.

    In city development news, the Planning Commission's Subdivision Committee is meeting today to discuss several new projects. This could mean more housing options on the horizon for our growing city.

    On the education front, we're proud of UK senior Meaghan Haddix, who's combining her passion for mental health advocacy with her experience as a childhood rare disease patient. She's been involved with DanceBlue throughout her college years and plans to become a pediatric nurse after graduation.

    In weather news, we're looking at a sunny but breezy day ahead. Temperatures will be on the cooler side, so don't forget to grab a jacket if you're heading out.

    Sports fans, mark your calendars. The Keeneland Spring Meet is just around the corner, and ticket demand remains high. It's always a highlight of our city's social and sporting calendar.

    On a somber note, we're remembering Isabel Yates, Lexington's former vice mayor, who passed away yesterday at the age of 100. She leaves behind a legacy of public service to our community.

    In public safety news, police are asking for help identifying a porch pirate who's been active in the area. If you have any information, please contact the Lexington Police Department.

    Finally, some good news for our local arts scene. The LexArts Gallery Hop is happening this Friday evening, showcasing work from local artists across various downtown venues. It's a great way to support our creative community and enjoy a night out in the city.

    This has been Lexington Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
