South Western Kentucky Economic Development Council Executive Director Carter Hendricks appeared on WHOP Monday morning and says he’s excited about the Rural King development at the Bradford Square Mall.
Hopkinsville City Council and Christian Fiscal Court have approved incentives for Rural King’s owners to put a store in the mall and to re-develop the property with additional stores or restaurants and Hendricks says it’s an exciting project.
The mall was once a busy place in Hopkinsville and Hendricks hopes the redevelopment can make it vibrant again.
Hopkinsville Mayor Wendell Lynch recently said it’s likely to be early 2023 when the Rural King store opens for business.
