Highway Honors Kentucky Farmer Jim Mahan | Lexington News

A stretch of Kentucky Route 353 in Fayette County is being renamed in honor of Jim Mahan, a revered farmer and community leader whose decades of service to agriculture and local organizations are now immortalized on the road he helped shape. Recognized for his leadership roles with the Thoroughbred Farm Managers Club, Fayette County Farm Bureau, and the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, Mahan’s legacy is celebrated through this official highway designation, championed by State Representative Vanessa Grossl. The ceremony, complete with a new sign unveiling and a crowd of family, friends, and officials, marks the culmination of a legislative effort that began in 2026 and was signed into law in April. It’s a fitting tribute to a man who gave his all to farming, his community, and the future of Kentucky’s agricultural heartland.
