Scott County fiscal court approves access point for Georgetown Commons development

A new access point for the Georgetown Commons development is set to move forward after the Scott County Fiscal Court approved Resolution 2025-04 during their meeting on April 11, 2025. The resolution expresses support for a right-in, right-out access point on McClellan Circle, strategically located across from Quality Drive.

Holden Fleming from the planning and zoning department presented the proposal, which aims to enhance traffic flow for the upcoming development. The resolution emphasizes that the access point's final approval is contingent upon the Kentucky Department of Transportation's (KYTC) review and the Georgetown Scott County Planning Commission's final development plan approval.

During discussions, court members raised concerns about traffic safety and existing issues at nearby intersections. Some members expressed apprehension about the potential for accidents if the access point were not properly managed. However, it was clarified that the resolution only pertains to the approval of the access point itself, with KYTC holding the authority to dictate specific traffic regulations, including the possibility of a left turn lane.

The court's decision reflects ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure in the area, with members acknowledging the hard work of planning staff on related projects. As the Georgetown Commons development progresses, the approved access point is expected to facilitate better connectivity and support local growth.
