The Scott County Fiscal Court adopted Resolution 25‑12 on July 24 to open and establish a new public road that leads to the recently constructed Scott County Sheriff’s Office, County Clerk’s annex and the Scott County Road Department, and to designate that roadway as Caleb Conley Way in honor of Deputy Caleb Conley. The resolution passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The resolution states the fiscal court finds it is “in the best interest of Scott County to open or establish a public road to provide access to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, County Clerk’s Annex, and Scott County Road Department” and cites Kentucky statutory authority for opening public roads (KRS references read aloud by the court). It says Deputy Caleb Conley “served the Scott County sheriff’s office with distinction worthy of honor, recognition, and appreciation by the fiscal court and the citizens of Scott County.”

Court members discussed whether to label the roadway “Way” or “Court” and whether to add a “No Outlet/Dead End” sign to reduce through traffic confusion. Several magistrates and the sheriff supported the name; one magistrate suggested keeping the road department’s existing address unchanged. The court also noted the sheriff’s office will use street number 240 in honor of the deputy’s unit number.

The resolution directs the county to place signs bearing the name and requires the county road engineer and courthouse posting as set out in statute; the court took no additional land‑use or naming conditions at the July 24 meeting beyond adopting the resolution. Officials said they will coordinate with planning and zoning to finalize signage and address posting.
