Each two story energy efficient unit will be 1200 square feet (600 square feet per floor), 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths. The development is a collaboration between the Hopkinsville-Inner City Community Housing Organization, Christian County/Hopkinsville Development Corporation, Hopkinsville and Christian County Landbank Authority, Community and Development Services and the City of Hopkinsville. Local financing is being provided by United Southern Bank and the Inner-City REZ program.
Hopkinsville Inner-City Community Housing Development Organization Chair Janet Calhoun stated in a release they are thrilled to be partnering again with such a vast array of other community organizations as they launch this new development. She went on to say they look forward to continuing their work toward inner-city revitalization and providing additional affordable housing opportunities to Hopkinsville’s residents.
