Lexington
County is thriving because of its diverse population, varied economy,
excellent schools, assorted transportation opportunities, and excellent
recreational opportunities. Population
growth is consistent, dynamic and dispersed throughout the county’s
750 square miles. The economy
is balanced between high-tech industries, agriculture, significant
regional
retail centers, and a growing retirement destination.
The
schools are perennially at or near the top of every ranking of school
excellence – academic, athletic, music and other activities. Three different Interstate highways, two public airports, several
private airports, and 4 rail lines link Lexington County and the world.
Lake Murray is the largest single recreational attraction in the county
yet is only one of many centers for recreation.
In addition to the consistent population growth Lexington County
is experiencing commercial, retail and industrial growth.
