Pike chamber supports gas line
The Pike County Chamber of Commerce supports a controversial plan to install a nearly $1 million natural gas line to serve the industrial corridor on Highway 41.
It issued the following statement after a poll showed 87.3% of members favor the gas line plan and 12.6% oppose it:
"The (chamber) supports the proposed gas line project for the county. Our membership, which consists of over 320 businesses, organizations and individuals, overwhelmingly feels this project is important to the future economic growth and vitality of this county. Infrastructure improvements are key to attracting future business growth as well as retaining those businesses who call Pike home."
