Pikeville, KY. – Pikeville’s Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park got a massive shot in the arm this week when the city agreed to accept millions of dollars to construct a new building at the park.

At a recent meeting of the Pikeville City Commission, held Oct. 14, city commissioners voted unanimously to authorize and approve a memorandum of agreement with the state, the state Energy and Environment Cabinet and the Kentucky Division of Abandoned Mine Land to accept funding in the amount of $5.7 million for the construction of a new speculative building at the industrial park. The spec building will be constructed in hopes of attracting an industrial tenant to the park, similar to the process undertaken by the city which resulted in truck manufacturer SilverLiner to locate at the park.
