Pike County Funds Community Centers
According to a release from the Pike County Fiscal Court, funding, from coal severance tax and county funds, is in place for new community centers, at Kimper, Mouthcard and Dorton. District 5 Magistrate Hilman Dotson says the center at Kimper is 90% completed and should open within the next two months. Once open, it will serve as a senior citizens center as well as being available to the community. Ground-breaking is expected to take place soon for the Mouthcard and Dorton centers. Also, slated for the near future, the county plans to construct a picnic area and playground on property at Greasy Creek.
