Pike County Chamber of Commerce Town Hall Forum
Those who attended the Pike County Chamber of Commerce Town Hall Forum Tuesday night in Pikeville were encouraged to feel good about the business climate in this area. They stressed that the local economy was in no way as bad as the national media paints this region.
From automotive to banking to the coal economy, the forum was a gathering of area representatives whose outlook was upbeat and positive.
East Kentucky Broadcasting's Keith Casebolt was the moderator of the event. According to panel members, there is money to loan, vehicles for great deals, a strong housing market, a coal industry that needs experienced miners, and, an unmatched local medical system. They suggested the national media should take a closer look at what the area is accomplishing.
