Tenants have started moving into a new senior apartment building on 21st Street, and the developer plans to have a grand opening ceremony in April.
At least half of the 45 apartments at Kirkman Terrace have been leased, said Tammy Stansbury, vice president of development for Woda Cooper Companies Inc.
“We are finishing up mainly some exterior stuff,” Stansbury said.
Developed for residents age 55 and older, the apartments have income restrictions. The limits are: $27,600 for one resident; $31,560 for two; and $35,520 for three, according to the rental application.

The building has a mix of one-bedroom (693 square feet) and two-bedroom (888 square feet) units.
Rent starts at $505, and there is a $505 security deposit. The application fee is $35.
Stansbury said the property manager, Crissy Latham, will be at Kirkman Square three days a week. Latham also manages an apartment building for Woda Cooper in Dawson Springs.
The three-story building has common areas — including a community room, computer/craft room and fitness area — but not all of those will be available during the pandemic, said Stansbury.
Information about leasing is available by calling 270-348-5288 or 270-797-5565.
The local project qualified for a $87,000 incentive through Hopkinsville Inner-City REZ for new construction. Kentucky Housing Corp. finished the project.
Rental applications are available at the entrance beside the tenant parking lot, opposite the 21st Street side of the building.
