 At Tuesday's Pike County Fiscal Court Meeting, Judge Executive Ray Jones announced the county will be receiving nearly $2.5 million in state road money and coal-severeance revenue. Judge Jones explained part of that money will go to fix some of the county roads most in need of repair. We identified four of the worst roads, the most neglected roads in the county that we simply didn't have the money to fix and we asked for help from the Transportation Cabinet and we were able to get more than any other county in Kentucky. We received $936,000 and you know it is somewhat disheartening to see people on social media you know mad because they didn't get money for their part of the county you know this is money that we didn't have to get at all that could have gone to some other county Our road system is in bad condition but it was in bad condition when this court took office and it's going to be in bad condition for a while because of the limited resources we have. Some of these roads are going to have to have the bases completely rebuilt. We have embankment failures on at least Ford Mountain it's going to have to require a significant amount of steel it's going to have to be drilled. We're doing a lot of the paving in-house so we can make the money go farther. It saves us about $20 a ton on asphalt if we do it in-house. Pike County will also be receiving another $1.4 million in coal severance revenue that will go to replace aging road equipment and solid waste equipment.
