Mayor
|
It is an honor and a privilege to serve in the role of Mayor for the citizens of Pikeville. I would like to thank the citizens of Pikeville as you have allowed me to continue the work and progress we have made with completing a vast majority of our projects in our previous comprehensive plan. With a newly adopted comprehensive plan, I am looking forward to many more outstanding projects and developments for the citizens of Pikeville and the surrounding region. I hope the work we do as the governing body of Pikeville is satisfactory to you. As the City of Pikeville continues to grow and we work together for the common good, we can continue to be the most progressive city in Kentucky. I will continue to work for more progress and work toward attracting businesses and job opportunities for our young people so they will continue to live and raise their families here. I envision our city as being a bigger influence on other municipalities in our area as we expand our infrastructure to improve our way of life here in Eastern Kentucky.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
