At three stories, it's also the most imposing structure in the city. Pittman Center has gone on record as being dedicated to the preservation of its mountain heritage, and, as such, has resisted any sort of commercial growth. Pittman Center sold the golf course to a private developer in 1978, and used the proceeds from the sale to pave every road in the city. The city is governed by a mayor and board of three aldermen, elected at large every two years. A recorder, two policemen, and two maintenance men.
Fire service is provided by a well-equipped volunteer department.
