Lexington extends development incentive – Lexington town leaders are extending incentives they hope will encourage development in the town. Town Council agreed to keep a plan in place that allows developers to buy single sewer taps instead of purchasing them in kits of 10. The extension will be in place until February 2012. “It is still difficult to get funding for development” assistant town administrator Stuart Ford said. “There have been few new housing developments started in Lexington in the past three years.” By dropping the 10 purchase minimum, it allows developers to buy one sewer tap, if that’s all they need, he said. In town sewer taps cost $1,900 and that’s easier to pay than the $19,000 it would take to buy 10 taps, Ford said.
