I have a mother who still resides in Pittsfield, and I love going back to the place where I call home. This plan that the Pike County Chamber of Commerce has come up with is an exciting one which ,if it stays on course, could be beneficial for the area, and not only Pike County.

My heart is still in Pike County and I hope the residents in the area can make Pike County not only a destination point, but also bring economic health to the area.
