Caldwell County addresses housing shortage with new Princeton development
What happened
Caldwell County Judge-Executive Kota Young presented on local industrial and housing projects, noting a significant housing shortage across the Commonwealth. A 2024 study by the Kentucky Housing Corporation found a supply gap of over 206,000 houses, projected to rise to over 280,000 by 2029. To address local needs, the Madison Mills housing project is planned for construction in Princeton, featuring a 60-unit complex for residents aged 55 and older.
