The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on March 24, 2025, to sign an agreement with the Kansas Department of Transportation to release old Highway 166 back to county control. Chair Myra Carlisle Frazier moved to sign the agreement; Commissioner Cory Moates seconded the motion and the board approved it without objection.
