New Satellite Station Proposed
Pike County Judge Executive Wayne Rutherford is attempting to secure funding for a new satellite station he wants built in South Williamson to increase the coverage area and response time of the Belfry Volunteer Fire Department. Senator Ray Jones hopes the project can be funded with coal severance tax money. Rutherford recently sent a letter to Kentucky Secretary of Transportation Joe Prather requesting a tract of land located at the intersection of U.S. 119 North and Highway 292 in South Williamson.
