On June 1, 2023, more than 40 brothers of Omega Psi Phi fraternity joined Govenor Andy Beshear, state and local governmental officials, historians, Young family, and citizens of Mason County to witness the formal inauguration of the Brigadier General Charles Young Corridor.
In 2023, Governor Beshear had signed Senate joint resolution 58 into law designating the route from Camp Nelson in Jessamine County to the KY/Ohio border at Mayslick as Brigadier General Colonel Young Memorial Corridor.
The formal dedication ceremony, sponsored by the Kentucky Legislative Black Causus, National coalition of Black Veterans Organization and Psi Tau Chapter, was conducted 2:30-4:00 at the Young birthplace cabin ground grounds located at 6319 Helena Road in Maylick KY.
