R utherford to sign and execute a deed to property on Scott Fork. The property along US119, a few miles outside of Pikeville, was given to the county by th Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The county plans to construct an energy research center on the property. The center will focus on building pilot-scale alternative energy plants with commercialization as one goal and workforce training for the energy industry as another.
