 July is going to be hotter than ever because you get up to $50 off any smartphone at Appalachian Wireless to your agreement required. Better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Some folks in Pike County living in the shadow of a potentially dangerous landslide have finally gotten some relief. Four families from the upper Pompey area of the county were officially bought out by Pike County Government Thursday in the first round of what has been a two-year process. In summer 2015, an area of upper Pompey began to slide, threatening the roadway and several residences. Thursday's buyouts came by way of FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant funds and also came as a relief to county officials and those who can now move out of harm's way. Somebody asked me just a few minutes ago, was it a long stressful process? Absolutely. It's a long and stressful process. But sitting here today at this table, it makes the stress and the process rewarding, not just for you guys, but for the people that did the work on it because this is a good day for us as well as for you all. I'm happy. These are our long, drawn-out processes it takes. We took one year to get this grant approved from the award, the money. And then it took several months before to write it and get it ready. But it takes time, and these people on Pompey's been patient. I know they're anxious to get it, but they show pretty good patience, so I hope it all turns out good. I was born and raised there, and it's hard. And I raised my children there. It's a great place. I mean, you can't ask for a better place, but safety-wise, we need to get out and it's just bittersweet. Like I said, it's good, but sad at the same time. The slide affected a total of 28 families, and Pot County officials hope to have the remaining buyouts completed by the end of summer. Short time away. We'll be to them by the end of the summer. By the end of the summer, they'll be bought out. We're ready. At the Pot County Courthouse, Chris Anderson, EKB News.
