Hopkins County, KY Space Needs Study

Nestled in the westernmost corner of Kentucky, Hopkins County stands as a testament to the state’s rich heritage and natural beauty. Encompassing an area of 540 square miles, the county is home to a diverse landscape that spans from rolling hills and lush farmlands to meandering rivers and tranquil lakes.

Madisonville, the county seat, serves as a vibrant hub of activity, its streets lined with charming shops, historic buildings, and inviting restaurants. The city’s cultural scene is equally lively, with numerous art galleries, theaters, and festivals showcasing the region’s creative spirit. Hopkins County, Kentucky retained CPS to undertake a space needs study for a new facility. The current Sheriff’s Office is in the basement of a county building. CPS completed the space needs study with a cost estimate based on local conditions, material and labor so the county may move forward to resolve the need for this critical facility.

Our study included projections over the next 20 years for spaces including: Public Access Areas, Administration, Patrol & Armory, Evidence, Sally Port, Special Services Divisions, Accounting & Tax Divisions, Emergency Management, Facility Support Areas, Facility Functional Spaces and Vehicle & Storage Facilities.
