Some new business could be coming to Pikeville soon as a new industrial development
site is almost finished.
City officials say the build-ready site at the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park is on track to be done by early August. Pikeville City Manager Reggie Hickman tells the Appalachian News Express having the build-ready certification shows companies that Pikeville is ready and able to deliver for a developer with infrastructure in place so whoever gets it can start construction right away.
The $4 million project was funded jointly by the City of Pikeville and the Commonwealth through a grant from the Kentucky Product Development Initiative.
