After several weeks of discussion and a presentation to Lexington City Council at their July 20th meeting from downtown merchants about their concerns regarding the value and health of LDDA as an organization and the downtown, LDDA President-Elect Faith Vosburgh, Chamber Director Sammy Moore, and Rockbridge Partnership Dave Kleppinger attended the Lexington City Council Meeting on Thursday, August 3rd with a proposed LDDA/Lexington Rockbridge Chamber of Commerce Partnership.
...
The fruits of that discussion resulted in the proposal that Vosburgh and Moore presented to Council.
...
"Putting LDDA under the umbrella of the Chamber will be beneficial in many ways," said Moore.
...
Council member Tim Golden advised Vosburgh and Moore, "I don't want to see this venture fail.
...
Sammy Moore replied that Jean Clark has had at least 6 very qualified applicants for a $20,000 job with the Visitor's Center.
...
"This is going to have to involve the whole community to work," commented Moore.

Members of LDDA's flag committee begin planning for a design competition for a new Lexington Flag in celebration of the 125th anniversay of the incorporation of Lexington. The contest for a Lexington Flag is open to Lexington residents, especially area youth. The committee hopes to choose the winning design in September. Detailed information is available from LDDA.
