Good morning, Lexington. It's Wednesday, April twenty-ninth. Hope you're staying dry out there as we start the day with some light rain and sixty-one degrees.

Yeah, definitely grab that umbrella if you're heading out early. I see Lexington Fire had a busy night though.

They did. Three multi-unit responses overnight, including a five-unit call on West Maxwell Street and another five-unit response on Brock McVey Drive. Also had four units out to Woodland Avenue.

That's a lot of activity for one night. Hopefully everyone's okay and the crews can catch a breather this morning.

Looking at our top stories, we're getting closer to Derby weekend, and there's a heartwarming angle. One man is preparing to attend his sixtieth consecutive Kentucky Derby on Saturday.

Sixty years in a row? That's incredible dedication. I can barely remember to set my alarm clock sixty days in a row. Speaking of Derby, U-K's got their Derby Eve Gala coming up with celebrity guests to support the diabetes center.

And closer to home, Mercer County residents are pushing back on a proposed ordinance for data center development. The proposal would limit facilities to fifteen hundred acres countywide and require them to stay at least seven hundred fifty feet from residential areas.

That's quite a buffer zone. Sounds like folks want to make sure these big tech facilities don't overwhelm their neighborhoods.

Weather-wise, we'll see that rain taper off around nine this morning, with a high near sixty-four and tonight's low around fifty-eight degrees.

Not too shabby for late April. What's on the city's agenda today?

The Technical Review Committee meets at eight thirty this morning at the Phoenix Building to discuss development plans and plats with various agencies and utility providers.

The nuts and bolts of city planning. We'll keep you updated as Lexington keeps growing.

That's your morning briefing. Stay safe, stay informed, and have a great Wednesday, Lexington.

And remember, we're here all day with the latest news as it happens.
