In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern travels to the southwestern part of Greene County to visit with Alex Rodriguez, founder of Lexington Arts + Science.

Located in the heart of the small town of Lexington (population hovers around 800), and situated right on the Schoharie Creek, Lexington Arts + Science is a physical place, a growing community, and a state of mind. Spanning over 30 acres and home to a collection of a number of large scale buildings that are now slowly being preserved and organically 're-activated' — including a barn-turned-theater, a historic riverfront historic hotel, an old farmhouse, and other structures — this creative revitalization project is also inspired by the 'Strong Towns' movement.
