The Pike County Economic Development Corporation was established in 1999 in an effort to enhance the quality of life in Pike County by creating employment and development opportunities. PCEDC’s initial goals were to develop a business retention and expansion program for the county, assist rural villages with planning, develop a marketing strategy to attract new business and industry to the county, work with other organizations to further promote tourism opportunities for Pike County, improve ‘Pike County Pride’ through community awareness programs and positive public relations, and to coordinate and build partnerships among public and private organizations within Pike County. Since it’s inception, Pike County Economic Development Corporation has been making strides toward achieving these goals. It was determined that a full-time Economic Development Coordinator position to lead the county’s economic development efforts in a unified manner was needed. The position is funded through contributions from the county, local communities, private businesses and individuals. These contributions are then matched dollar for dollar through state funds. Stephanie Sorrells has held the position of Pike County Economic Development Coordinator since August 2006. Whether the need is business retention and expansion, business development, community development, public policy assistance, or marketing and promotion, we are moving to meet Pike County’s needs. Through cooperation, commitment, leadership, and dedication, we will build a brighter future for Pike County. |
