The staff at the Hodgenville Police Department are enjoying their new digs.
“The city had the opportunity to purchase the old DWE building located at 1250 Old Elizabethtown Road at the corner of KY 210 and Northridge Circle here in town,” said Hodgenville Police Chief James Richardson. “It’s a big building. We have an administrative portion of the front and a large warehouse in the back along with an impound lot area that’s fenced in next to the building.”
That’s Hodgenville Police Chief James Richardson. The new location was an opportunity for two city departments to get more space.
“It was a little bit too big for us, and a bit too big for maintenance, but together we’re going to share it, so we’re in the front and we share the back portion of the building with the Maintenance Department,” Richardson said.
Richardson said after splitting some services between the old and new locations things are just about at 100 percent at the new office.
“We moved in last week, and we’ve got everything up here,” Richardson said. “We’ve got a few more minor things to get done, some housekeeping issues. We’re constructing a little bit of this, that, and the other, but everything we need is here, so we’re actually moved into the building.”
The Hodgenville Police Department plans to host an open house at the new building once things are fully installed.
