A Kentucky county's court operations that have been closed since historic flooding in July will resume this month.

The Knott County Office of Circuit Court Clerk will reopen Oct. 31 in the county Judicial Center. Circuit and district court proceedings will be conducted remotely due to ongoing repairs to the center.

Proceedings may be heard in person in another county if all parties agree, according to the Administrative Office of the Courts in Frankfort.
