places like Belfry and Log Mountain just don't seem like places a person would want to move to get a job ,especially when people have to leave the area to find work.

US 119 makes jobs in Pikeville, Prestonsburg, Williamson, Red Jacket, Delbarton and everywhere in between accessible. Moving into the school district does not force people to work within the limits of the Belfry school district.

Yes mining jobs in the area have been hit hard but even when they were plentiful people in the Belfry area were still travelling to work outside of the Belfry area. Before I left the area due to a lack of jobs in my field (computer programming) I had to travel 45 minutes to Ivel every day and before that 35 minutes to Coal Run. Here in Atlanta its not unheard of for someone to have a 2 hour commute one way each day to work. You don't have to work where you live.
