 Wednesday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear visited the mountains to announce a new driver's licensing regional office in Pikeville and to award $770,000 to the city for economic development. Well today is thrilling. We announced a regional driver's licensing center right here in Pike County with driver's testing from the Kentucky State Police. That means everybody in Pike County and close to Pike County can come when they need to in person to get their driver's license, to get their real ID, to get their CDL, to take that driver's license test and with the change that was mandated by the legislature and the clerks for Kentucky, you know, we're having to do the work to create these regional centers. Having one in Pike County is going to be a big advantage from economic development to convenience. So I'm really excited but I would also remind everybody else out there that you can renew through the internet, through mail, and we have mobile units that can come to your communities as well. We also had a $700,000 check for the city of Pikeville for economic development with Appalachian Tank that's creating, I think, 56 new jobs here and I don't think they're done. They're excited about the workforce and it's just an example of the level of prosperity and economic development we're seeing. We are Pikeville Medical Center and we are an amazing place to work. Our heroes of all types work here. All who deserve great rewards. So while our heroes are working hard to take care of our patients and visitors, we are taking care of them with top-tier benefits, higher pay rates, and great sign-on bonuses. So join our team today. So what are you waiting for? Applaud today! Incredible opportunities await at PMCjobs.org. Located at 128 Trivet Drive, the new office is expected to be open by summer. Earlier, Mountaintop had the opportunity to speak with 94th District State Representative Angie Hatton, who says the office will be huge for her residents. The folks in Lenture County have to drive to Floyd County, which is about an hour and a half. This will make that about 45 minutes closer, so that makes a really big difference for folks in Weizberg and, of course, my folks in Pike County are going to be thrilled with the idea that they're getting a regional driver's licensing office right in downtown Pikeville, as well as a driver's testing, because there's been a lot of folks who have had trouble getting driver's license testing appointments all the way in Floyd County, handling several counties. So that is going to be a huge difference for all of the folks in my district. I also have Harlan County now, and I'm really hoping that we get one closer to them, and I'm hearing hands that I believe that's going to be possible as well. With $770,000 from the Community Development Block Grant, funds will be used to purchase equipment to lease Tappalachian Tank, Incorporated, for aluminum tank production.
