October 1-3Hyatt Regency Hotel, Lexington, Kentucky

APA Kentucky is proud to host the 2014 Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana (OKI) Regional Planning Conference in Lexington, Ketucky October 1-3. This biennial community planning conference will bring together planners and related professionals for three days to discuss planning practices, issues, and successes in the region. The conference theme of “Reimagining Communities” directs our attention to the role planners fill as they work in many communities across the region. Planners are charged with guiding communities to economic success and high quality of life. Our profession is constantly challenged by issues and policies from the national to local level. This requires planners to continue to “reimagine communities.”

Planning Commissioner training will occur on Wednesday. Two full days of conference sessions are provided on Thursday and Friday. Mayor Greg Fischer of Louisville and Mayor Jim Gray of Lexington will open the conference on Thursday morning. Mitchell Silver, AICP, Commissioner of New York City Parks and immediate past president of the American Plannign Association (APA), will be our keynote lunch speaker on Friday.

Participants can explore Lexington through mobile workshops demonstrating downtown redevelopment, a local horse farm, and UK’s sustainability practices. The opening reception will be held at Paulie’s Toased Barrel on Wednesday night. Thursday night’s reception will be held at the Grand Reserve.

Welcome to Lexington! The Kentucky chapter looks forard to exchanging ideas, thinking regionally, and working together to reimagine our communities.
