City turns over historic Palmer building to community services agency United Way of the Bluegrass

A historic structure in Lexington’s East End neighborhood will get a new lease on life. On Wednesday Mayor Linda Gorton transferred ownership of the former Palmer Pharmacy building on East Fifth Street to United Way of the Bluegrass. The building, once home to the first Black-owned ReXall pharmacy franchise in the country, will be repurposed as the Marksbury Family Way Point Center. President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy Johnson called the project a long labor of love for the stakeholders. Alan Lytle has details.
