Apply NowStreet-level retail, restaurant and bar businesses are the heartbeat of downtown Lexington, creating the vibrancy to make it a thriving, cultural, corporate and civic center of the region. These businesses have been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the required stay-at-home orders. Now, as those restrictions are lifted and the economy begins to reopen, the Downtown Lexington Management District (DLMD), the Downtown Lexington Partnership (DLP) and Kinetic by Windstream are teaming up to provide grants, in-kind marketing and technology support to help businesses overcome the financial, marketing and operational challenges of this new business environment.
