Christian Fiscal Court heard an update on renovations at the Pennyroyal Area Museum Tuesday morning and agreed to assist the Hopkinsville Industrial Foundation as they construct a ‘spec building.’
Museums of Historic Hopkinsville Executive Director Alissa Keller says the community is invited to attend the ribbon cutting for historic Pennyroyal Area Museum building on February 27 at 3 p.m.
She says the new exhibits are the highlight of the building and they will give patrons a chance to interact with history.
John Crenshaw of the Hopkinsville Industrial Foundation received approval from fiscal court to pay half the interest on the debt service for construction of a new ‘spec building’ near T Rad on Frank Yost Lane.
Crenshaw says construction on the large building will likely begin in the summer and it will allow any potential new industry to Hopkinsville to have a solid timetable on when they could move in and begin production.
The interest payments would be paid back to Fiscal Court after it’s sold to an industry.
Two citizens again encouraged Fiscal Court to approve a resolution making Christian a Second Amendment sanctuary city, while one citizen said he believes it’s a state issue. Magistrates recently approved a resolution in support of the entire constitution, but only two of the eight have expressed a desire to go further with a resolution specific to gun rights.
