James "Jim" P. Gray II (born 1953) is the current mayor of Lexington, Kentucky (Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government). Gray served as the city's vice-mayor from 2006 to 2010 before being elected mayor in November 2010. Gray handily won re-election to another 4-year term on November 4, 2014. Gray is formerly Chairman and CEO of Gray Construction, a nationally ranked engineering, design, and construction company headquartered in Lexington. Once elected, he took an advisory role as Chair of the Board of Directors to focus on his role as Mayor. ==Early life and education== Gray was raised in Glasgow, Kentucky, the second oldest of Lois and James Norris Gray's six children. Gray started his college career at Emory University in Atlanta but returned home to help out with the family business when his father died in 1972. He then enrolled at Vanderbilt University, commuting between Glasgow and Nashville while earning a degree in history. After graduating in 1975, he joined the family construction business full-time. In 1996, after more than 20 years in the construction industry, Gray accepted an offer to become a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. The Loeb Fellowship program is created for accomplished practitioners "to pause, study, and reflect at a great University () enable those who designed and built our cities to return with renewed insight and energy."〔http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/#/academic-programs/loeb-fellowship/index.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Gray (American politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
