The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council is expected to approve the contract for another study to determine the space and organizational demands of a new government center.

The $250,000 study, conducted by Ernst & Young, will look for ways to update the city’s work environment by leveraging technology that has emerged since the pandemic, according to project management director Brandi Peacher. The project may also address navigation and accessibility issues in the current government center. This is the first study assessing the current site and its operations, and could be released as early as May.
