Funding Secured for Construction of Community Center.
Residents in the Bent Branch area for years have been attempting to get funding for the construction of a community center in there area. That perseverence has paid off. The Pike County Fiscal Court presented community members with the first of two $50,000 coal severence checks for the construction of the Open Fork/Bent Branch Community Center. The facility will be built adjacent to Bent Branch Park. District Five Magistrate Hilman Dotson says that this project has been in the works for years. Dotson added that the new community center will serve to greatly benefit and enhance the quality of life of residents in the community. The center is scheduled to open in mid 2008.
