Resident wins board agreement to start process to rename South McKee Road
Summary
A Wilson County resident asked the commission to rename South McKee Road to Clark Hollow Road so a new house would carry the family name; the board agreed to begin the formal process and forward the request to 911 and county staff for address verification and placement on the January road list.
A resident identified in the record as Clark asked the Wilson County Road Commission to rename South McKee Road to Clark Hollow Road so his forthcoming house would carry that address. Clark told commissioners his farm surrounds the short, roughly 750-foot road and that changing the name would better reflect the property’s local identity and provide the address he wants for his new home.
Commissioners and staff explained the formal steps: the board should approve starting the process, staff will notify 911 and Karen Moore will verify the address, and the change must be placed on the county’s annual road list in January for formal adoption. The commission agreed to start the process; a motion to begin was made from the dais and carried by voice vote.
Assistant Superintendent Chase and road staff noted the county cannot amend the road list midyear for a name change and that the change will be processed with the next annual road-list update. Officials asked Clark to coordinate with 911 and county staff to confirm details; staff said they will follow up after the first of the year.
The board’s action was procedural: it authorized staff to pursue the steps necessary to place the requested name change on the county’s road list and to coordinate with 911 for address verification. The change will proceed through the standard administrative steps and be finalized after the road list is updated in January.
