Virtual Oasis Coming For Seniors Living On Lexington's North Side

Ground was broken Tuesday morning for The Oasis at Kearney Creek which is off Georgetown Road. 12th District Councilwoman Kathy Plomin was one of more than a dozen city leaders and corporate sponsors who helped secure the affordable housing project. “Affordable housing is just so needed in our community and I think the plans for this are beautiful, safe and it’s a great think to be able to age in place and this will be a nice place to age.”

The Oasis will include 96 units of affordable housing for seniors. It’s near a bus line so it will also have easy access to much needed services.  Funding for the project was awarded from the Kentucky Housing Corporation this past January.
