Who we are —
We are a collaboration. We are better together. We are greater than the sum of our individual parts. We are dedicated to making our home a better place. We are Pine Mountain Partnership.
Pine Mountain Partnership is an initiative of the private non-profit EKY Heritage Foundation. Created to serve the Tourism Economic Development needs of Southeastern KY. We work closely with current elected officials to advocate on behalf of the business community and industrial prospects to win new business and grow existing business.
We look forward to bringing private industry partners on board to further this mission, build our workforce, grow our existing businesses, and recruit new businesses that add value to our area.
