Pike County Commissioners support federal funding for Carl D Perkins Jobs Corps program

Pike County Fiscal Court has taken a significant step to support local youth by adopting a resolution that expresses strong backing for the Carl D. Perkins Jobs Corps Center. During the meeting on July 1, 2025, officials emphasized the importance of continued federal funding for the Jobs Corps program, which has been a vital resource for young people in the community for the past decade.

The resolution, which received unanimous support from the court members, highlights the transformative impact of the Jobs Corps program on the lives of many local youths. Commissioner Adkins seconded the motion, and after a brief discussion, the resolution was passed with all members voting in favor.

In addition to the resolution, the court also conducted a second reading of an ordinance to officially adopt Scott's Bottom Left Road into the Pike County Road system. This move is expected to enhance local infrastructure and improve access for residents.

The adoption of the resolution and the road ordinance reflect the court's commitment to addressing community needs and supporting initiatives that foster youth development and infrastructure improvement. As these measures move forward, they promise to have a lasting positive impact on the residents of Pike County.
