Groundbreaking For New Public Housing Unit In Elkhorn City
The process of adding additional public housing units within the Pike County Housing Authority began Thursday (today) with a groundbreaking ceremony. On a half-acre site between the old high school and the Elkhorn City Elementary School, a sixteen unit complex will bring to forty the number of housing units in Elkhorn City. David Carmichael with the primary contractor, R. A. Williams Construction Company, told us that a completion date of ten to twelve months was expected. Gay Newsome, executive director of the Pike County Housing Authority, told us funding for the project was provided by HUD under provisions that provide housing for the elderly. Pike County Judge Executive Wayne Rutherford saw this project as a real plus for the county.
