Hardin County Habitat for Humanity wants a deeper presence in Radcliff, and its executive director asked city officials Tuesday to be a catalyst in the effort.

Larry Mengel proposed a partnership between Habitat for Humanity and Radcliff to locate and obtain land in the city where new homes could be built.

Mengel said Hardin County Habitat has worked on 45 new houses since its inception in the early 1990s, but only about seven of those homes are located in Hardin County’s second-largest city.
