Gov. Andy Beshear joined local leaders and Habitat for Humanity officials on Wednesday to celebrate seven new homes for 2021 tornado survivors in Dawson Springs.
“Today, we took another step toward rebuilding from the tornadoes that hit nearly three years ago,” Beshear said. “We’re building homes and investing in our community infrastructure, setting our people up for sustained success. We promised to be here for the long run, and we’re making good on our promise.”
Six of the seven homes were partially funded with $600,000 from the Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund. The homes were built by Habitat for Humanity.
More than $21.6 million has been committed from the fund to construct or repair 300 homes. To date, 216 home-building projects are completed, under construction or approved to start construction.
