The project also includes installation of an eight foot fence next to the baseball and softballs fields at the Center Recreation Complex to minimize balls from hitting cars along Worthen Road."

The project now consists of development at just the two ends —which are Town -owned property. This is the latest Concept Plan: GRAIN MILL ALLEY Town of Lexington CONCEPT PLAN.
