Pike County Gets Gift Of 50 Acres
The State Transportation Cabinet is deeding 50 acres of flat land in the Scott Fork area, worth millions of dollars, to Pike County at no cost.
The state purchased the land from the Appalachian Land Company and a family to build the new US119. The highway construction created the flat land, and, transportation officials decided to give it to the county with the stipulation it must be used for economic development.
County leaders have made plans to build the proposed America's Energy Research Park there, and, recruit other companies to locate businesses to the land.
