State of Downtown Presented by Republic Bank

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 State of Downtown, presented by Republic Bank! Guests had the opportunity to connect with fellow DLP members, hear insights from keynote speaker Jason Ilstrup, President & CEO of Downtown Madison Inc., and learn more about the progress, priorities, and future of downtown Lexington.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our event sponsors, Republic Bank, Bluegrass Sotheby's, University of Kentucky, Lexington Marriott City Center, VisitLEX, LexTran, LexPark, the Downtown Lexington Management District, Block by Block, and Fayette Alliance for helping make this event possible.

We look forward to bringing our downtown community together again next year!
