MT. VERNON — The construction of the new gym at Casey Middle School in Mt. Vernon continues to progress. Mt. Vernon City Schools Asst. Superintendent Ryan Swan says mainly interior work is left on the project, and work is about 70 percent complete.

Swan says there are many things that people will like about the new gymnasium.

Swan says the gym project is also coming in under budget, which will allow the district to use remaining money to work on other necessary projects from the district’s health, life, and safety list of required school upgrades.
