 Santa knows where to find all the best and hottest smart phones just in time to make this Christmas better and bigger than ever. Better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. Elkhorn City is one step closer to obtaining funds for its Steelbridge Waterline Replacement Project. During today's Pie County Fiscal Court meeting, Magistrates adopted a resolution in support of filing a grant application with the Department for Local Government for the project. There is a waterline that goes across the river that connects the two parts of Elkhorn City. It is along an old steel bridge that is currently underneath the current bridge at Elkhorn City. That waterline has been on that bridge for a long time and at the time it was a really good use for the bridge, but as most people in the region know, that bridge has deteriorated and is becoming unsafe, if that bridge falls then that waterline certainly will be a victim of that event. Elkhorn City has applied for and received money from FEMA in the amount of $234,000. Now the city needs a 13% match in Cull Severance Taxes, the match would total $36,000. The Pie County Fiscal Court and each Pie County Legislator must approve money being taken out of the Cull Severance funds. The bridge will not be moved, torn down or replaced. It has to do with moving the waterline off the existing bridge, so the only thing we're talking about is moving that waterline off the unsafe conditions of the bridge. It is unclear when construction of the project will begin or if it will be fully approved. In Pike County, Shelby Porter, EKB News.
