On Monday, business and community leaders gathered at Shelby Valley High School to hear the latest updates on the App Harvest project coming to Pikeville. App Harvest CEO Jonathan Webb announced a new partnership with the University of Pikeville and the Pike County School system to develop an AgTech program at UPIKE where students can earn both associates and bachelor degrees. Webb also said when the project is complete, they will boast some of the largest greenhouses in the country. In addition, several high profile speakers were on hand to voice their support.
