Pike County
Protecting homes and businesses from the devastating effect of flooding has been a key focal point for Rogers. He has secured essential infrastructure funds for flood control projects in S. Williamson and beyond so that businesses in Pike County can continue to grow and families can feel safe in their homes. Relatedly, Rogers provided funding to secure a trash boat to clear lake debris at Fishtrap Lake.
Opening up southern and eastern Kentucky through expanding road infrastructure is key to jumpstarting the local economy. Rogers has made transportation a priority and secured funding to make U.S. 119 a reality in Pike County. He continues to fight to upgrade and expand 119 so that local communities can continue to grow and bring new jobs to the region.
The health and wellbeing of individuals, families and seniors in southern and eastern Kentucky is a longstanding priority of Rogers. Toward that end, Rogers has worked with Pikeville Hospital and Pikeville Medical College for important upgrades and was instrumental in locating a downtown parking garage to serve these facilities. Rogers was also instrumental in bringing Westcare to nearby Ashcamp to help individuals seeking to end drug addiction find hope and a place to go for help and rehabilitation.
