Bob Shurtleff

As a Pikeville City Commissioner, I would like to say thank you to everyone who voted and allowed me to serve another term. My wife, Kathy, and I are both life-long residents of Pikeville and graduates of Pikeville High School and are here because we want to see the City thrive.

[expand title=”Read More”]We have been able to observe continuing growth and I know some think it is slow. However, we have a lot of good things happening here like the opening of Dueling Barrels and Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park taking shape.

We have, in my opinion, a very unique opportunity to help reshape the region and diversify the economy. We know that coal will never be what it once was but will always be a part of our economy. With assets in the medical community including Pikeville Medical Center, Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the addition of the Kentucky School of Optometry as well as new manufacturing plants and our distillery Dueling Barrels and microbrewery, Broken Throne, we are well underway to doing just that.

My goal is to work diligently to complete the broadband objective and get a Google standard of delivery to the area. We also have to work together with the county to be able to develop new areas for another industrial park to continue our growth.

Thank you again for the opportunity that you have entrusted me with and I will do my very best to make decisions that are best for the great City of Pikeville and our residents.[/expand]
