New Ranking: College Sports Town
One of the best things about compiling rankings and accolades for a great place like Lexington is that there are always an abundance to choose from. I recently finished my update to our ever-famous Bluegrass Rankings document and the next day a new ranking gets published.
Lexington is officially (according to Forbes) the #5 college sports town in America.
Though our sporting traditions are certainly legendary, the ranking also takes into account quality of life, public school quality, and crime. The article also mentions the great real estate return on investment as well as the attractiveness of college towns for business, especially among information and start-up companies.
