• 'The wrong solution to the right problem': Why a committee said no to a Westview crematory (lexobserver.org) — Lexington's cemetery committee has rejected building a crematory at Westview Cemetery, concluding projected revenues would fall far short of roughly $400,000 in annual operating costs. The decision disappoints some residents, especially in the town's South Asian community, who hoped for local facilities that support Dharmic end-of-life rituals, while the majority urges working with existing regional crematories to better meet Lexington's needs.
• Midwest, Northeast towns dominate study of Best Small Cities in America (cleveland.com) — Lexington tops WalletHub's 2026 list of Best Small Cities in America, praised for its low crime, strong schools, high median income, and excellent health coverage. The study highlights how Lexington combines safety, economic strength, and abundant fitness options, reinforcing the town's appeal for families and professionals seeking high quality of life in a small-city setting.
