MOUNT VERNON, Mo. (KY3) - The city of Mt. Vernon will open a new pool after closing its old pool a year ago. The new pool is ADA-compliant with a zero entry and lazy river.

In August, a company will break ground on a Mount Vernon facility that will create 120 jobs. “It’s going to be transformational for our county,” said Mount Vernon Mayor Brad Hyman.

The Mount Vernon City School District says it's pushing off critical infrastructure projects because the City of Mount Vernon has not transferred the roughly $11 million it owed in school taxes.
