The proposed building of a soccer complex in the agricultural-rural zone that was previously Ashwood Training Center just outside of Lexington, KY has reportedly been abandoned by the Lexington Sporting Club. The project had been met with significant opposition from members of the equine and agricultural communities in Fayette County.
“We are pleased that our community's strong desire to protect the Agricultural-Rural zone has been recognized by the withdrawal of the Lexington Sporting Club's backing for the 12 soccer field and 750 parking space proposal at the Newtown Pike site,” said a statement from the Fayette Alliance. “Fayette Alliance remains committed to advocating for equitable, sustainable and responsible growth in Lexington-Fayette County. We continue to support bringing professional and youth soccer opportunities to Lexington so long as it does not come at the expense of our community's signature Bluegrass farmland and the industries it supports.”
