ZEBULON - The Pike County Board of Commissioners will meet in the upper courtroom of the courthouse on Tuesday, April 30, 3024 at 6:30 p.m. for a regularly scheduled meeting. There will be a Town Hall Meeting at 6:15 p.m. for anyone who would like to speak to the commissioners about any issues that you may have. The meeting is open to the public will be broadcast live on Pike County Times' Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/pikecountytimes/.

https://www.facebook.com/pikecountytimes/. [Note from the Editor: It will be nice when our county joins so many of the surrounding cities and counties to record and broadcast its meetings in a central place so citizens who cannot attend the meetings can watch at their convenience. Especially those who do not have a Facebook account because there are more people out there than you know who don't like Facebook.]

[Note from the Editor: This meeting was postponed until the next regular BOC meeting date on May 15, 2024.]
