Four Princeton families who were displaced by the December tornado received some relief funding Tuesday from Kentucky REALTORS®.
Immediate past president for the Kentucky REALTORS®, Charles Hinckley says he was the president of the organization at the time that helped secure the grants for Kentucky from the National Association of REALTORS Relief Fund.
Hinckley was in Princeton Tuesday to present the four checks to local families displaced by the tornado. In total, he says they have distributed, so far, approximately 500 checks to families in west Kentucky who were displaced by the tornado.
