<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pikeville, KY &#8211; December 26, 2024 &#8211; Due to unfavorable weather conditions<br>forecasted for this weekend, the City of Pikeville has made the decision to<br>postpone the highly anticipated Drone Show and Combined Fireworks Display<br>that was set to take place on Saturday, December 28th, at 6 PM at the Hambley<br>Athletic Complex.<br>The event was scheduled to celebrate two major milestones: the 100th<br>anniversary of Pikeville Medical Center and the 200th anniversary of Pikeville<br>itself. While we were excited to bring this special celebration to our community,<br>safety is our top priority, and the forecasted weather conditions are not conducive<br>to holding such a spectacular event.<br>We are currently working with our partners to determine a new date that will allow<br>us to safely host the event and provide our community with the experience it<br>deserves. We will make an official announcement regarding the rescheduled<br>event as soon as the new date is confirmed.<br>We thank the community for their understanding and support, and we look<br>forward to celebrating these historic milestones with you soon.<br>For more updates and information, please follow the City of Pikeville on social<br>media or visit www.pikevilleky.gov.</p>

									<p><strong>LEXINGTON, Ky.</strong> – The Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) recognized Pikeville Deputy City Manager Bradley Slone as the 2024 KLC City Employee of the Year. KLC and award sponsor Freeman Mathis &amp; Gary, LLP surprised Slone with the award at a Friday morning ceremony during the KLC Conference &amp; Expo in Lexington. Slone’s dedication to his community and exceptional leadership during a time of transition were among the reasons a panel of judges selected him for the prestigious recognition. He served as interim city manager in 2023 while maintaining his responsibilities as deputy city manager.</p><p>City employees and elected officials praised Slone for ensuring a seamless transition. They described his leadership as compassionate, kind, and effective, with many noting that the city “did not miss a beat” during the period of change.</p><p>Since joining the City of Pikeville in 2017, Slone has been instrumental in the management and execution of several key projects. These include the recent construction of a new fire station, a pilot program for license plate reading video cameras, significant updates to the city’s website, and the development of a downtown economic incentive plan. Under his tenure, Pikeville has also become a Gigabit City, developed a pedestrian tunnel and bikeways project, and provided ADA-compliant playground equipment for disabled children.</p><p>For the complete article, courtesy of <strong>Mountain Top News</strong>, visit <a href="https://mountain-topmedia.com/slone-named-klc-city-employee-of-the-year/" target="_new" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>								</div>
