 It's storm season and we are just letting you know that we've got 3 storm shelters in town. City Hall, Bank Independent Basement, and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. Please don't bring pets so that we can avoid fights between animals. Stay Safe and God Bless!  Lexington Town Council Says “YES” the Pool Will Open This Year! After a lengthy discussion over the past two months of whether the Lexington Public Pool will open this year the council members voted unanimously to open the pool. The pool was constructed in 1968 from grant money awarded to
the Town of Lexington. The mayor and
members of the council decided on April 2, 2012 at the monthly council meeting
that the pool indeed will open. The
pool over the past several years has needed many repairs and updates to keep it
in working order to serve the public. One update needed for this year will be a lift or ramp in
order for handicap persons to be able to get in and out of the pool. This was a rule handed down regarding (ADA)
Americans with Disabilities Act. Previously in 2011 The League of Municipalities (which the Town is a member) alerted its members of changes to the requirements for public swimming pools under ADA which was to install a ramp or lift for all public pools by March 12, 2012. The deadline has been extended until May 21, 2012 and maybe extended again. A memo has been submitted to the Attorney General – Eric Holder for another possible 180-day extension. The town is waiting for a reply from Mr. Holder at this time. The council also decided that the daily admission price be
lowered to $3 instead of the current $5 per person/per day rate. The $3 per person/per day will allow you to
enter and leave the pool as many times during the 1 day pass as needed. Season family passes will be available and
pool parties can be booked thru the pool director – Salena Collier. Salena can be contacted at the pool at (256) 229-6491 or if
no answer phone Town Hall at (256) 229-5221. Also you can visit the pool page on this website for more information. Lexington, Alabama is located in Lauderdale County, about ten minutes from the Tennessee state line. We are a close knit community with an 'everybody knows everybody' charm. We take great pride in our community, our church (which ever denomination that may be), and our school. Friday nights are ballgame nights and Sunday afternoons mean lunch after church. We support all our local fundraiser and events whether they are put on by the town or our youth. We are proud to have Lexington School, which is among the top schools in the state, that gives our children a bright future. Lexington offers an opportunity for a safe and quiet life that is still close enough to the cities to allow an escape. Though we are small, we are still growing and welcome new business with open arms. Highways 101 and 64 cross in the center of town which brings new customers our way everyday. We have an open market for restaurants, home decor shops, or whatever your dream may be. The Town of Lexington has always worked closely with our local businesses to ensure the success of the business. We value your support and we give it as well. If you have a dream to own your own business, Lexington is the perfect place to start. There is always something to do in Lexington. Our Community Events Committie is always planning events to help our town and bring the community together. They plan our week long Founder's Day celebration along with our Praise in the Park and other events. They have even been known to bring the circus to town. Even when we're not planning an event, there are always our two city parks (which now have new playground equipment), Lexington Pool, and our tennis courts. There is also a walking trail behind the Town Hall that weaves through the park under the trees and is a quiet, shady place to take a nice walk alone or with company. Our parks are also available for parties and get togethers. To reserve one of the parks for your event, call (256) 229-5221.  Our gazeebo is a great place for parties and weddings! Call Town Hall to reserve it. Please explore our website to learn more about our town. We hope you'll find the answers to all your questions or find that you would like to pass through and visit us.
