Good morning, this is Lexington Local Pulse for Thursday, December twenty fifth, and we are glad to be with you.

We start with a big development from city hall. The Lexington Department of Public Safety is moving ahead with testing drone vendors for a new drones as first responders program. According to the Lexington Herald Leader, these drones would fly to serious 911 calls, like crashes and shootings, before our police and fire crews arrive, giving them live video to right size the response. City leaders say the drones will not use facial recognition, will not be armed, and will not be used for general surveillance, but they will need council approval for funding early next year.

Weather wise, as we head out along Nicholasville Road and New Circle today, we are dealing with a chilly, gray Christmas day, with light clouds, cool temperatures in the low 40s, and only a small chance of drizzle. It stays dry for most holiday gatherings, and we look for a cold, quiet night, with similar cool, seasonable weather into the weekend.

Turning to real estate, agents we are hearing from say inventory inside New Circle Road remains tight, with starter homes near Tates Creek and Harrodsburg roads often drawing multiple offers and median prices hovering in the mid 300 thousands. Renters around downtown and Chevy Chase are seeing modest increases as student demand picks up again.
