Second is the annual Greenbrier parade, hosted by parade meister extraordinaire Chris Thiel. Kids are encouraged to bring decorated bikes. golf carts, and scooters to the Antigua Circle around 3.30pm. Fire engine #17 will arrive at 4pm to lead the way around Bahama to the Clubhouse, where paradegoers can enjoy snocones, and kids will be awarded prizes in several categories.

As this year’s Greenbrier Dues Appeal wraps up, the GB Board is happy to announce that once again 170 neighbors voluntarily contributed to our operating fund. That means 70% of GB residents (236 properties according to Fayette County PVA Search site: Greenbrier Estates) will allow the Board to undertake major projects such as the new Directory, Spring planting and updated Security Cameras that will benefit ALL residents.
Your GB Board is grateful for the participation of our dues-paying neighbors, and we work hard to ensure your dues go to make our neighborhood one of Fayette County’s best. Thank you!

Please oppose House Bill 346, Senate Floor Amendment 1.
The
bill as amended would take away the LFUCG Planning Commission’s
authority over final development plans, would greatly harm Lexington’s
new Comprehensive Plan, and would have the practical impact of opening
Lexington’s Urban Services Boundary. Essentially, new land would have
to be made available for development at a rate consistent with
development over the past ten years. Please help to oppose this bill by
objecting to its passage immediately!
The easiest way to oppose the Senate Floor Amendment would be to call 800-372-7181 and leave a message for all Senators that you object to it.
You can use the language in the first paragraph above if you wish, or
you can simply state that you oppose it. Either method registers your
objections.
After that, be alert to find if the Senate passes the bill with the Floor Amendment, and if so, call the same number again and leave the same message for all House members.
You can also contact your own Senator and House Member by emailing them via www.lrc.ky.gov. Look at the key on the bar at the top page and click on “Legislators.”
The SFA sponsor is Senator Jared Carpenter from Berea. A small part of his district is in Fayette County.
Please also contact your neighbors and friends and ask that they also protest the legislation.
This bill would represent a terrible setback to the interests of
planning and reasonable development in Fayette County. Thank you for
your prompt action.
