422 New Homes Planned Near Town as Land Sale Wraps Up
Radcliff, KY · August 6, 2026
Happy Thursday — yellow school buses are back on the streets today, so leave a few extra minutes for morning drive times.
The Lead
A major residential expansion is taking shape along the local housing corridor following the $6.25 million sale of the Penn Run property. Developers plan to transform the site into a 422-home neighborhood designed to help address growing housing demand across northern Hardin County.
The development comes as nearby employment centers and Fort Knox operations continue to attract new residents to the region, putting pressure on existing single-family inventory. Local officials anticipate the influx of new housing options will help stabilize regional home prices while offering modern neighborhood infrastructure. The next step involves civil site reviews and traffic impact assessments before preliminary plats go before the planning commission later this fall.
