01 — Local economy
Business in Lexington, KY
Thoroughbred breeding farms, Keeneland's racecourse and bloodstock sales, and the equine vets, feed mills and horse transporters around them give Lexington a distinctive horse economy. Toyota's largest plant worldwide, in neighboring Georgetown, builds the Camry and RAV4, the University of Kentucky and UK HealthCare are the biggest local employers, printer maker Lexmark and Valvoline are headquartered here, and bourbon distilleries ring the city.
Also known as Lexington-Fayette.
Where software helps: Lexington horse farms, bloodstock agents and equine clinics bill boarding, breeding seasons, veterinary care and sales commissions per horse and per owner, often split among several partners, which standard invoicing cannot handle.
