Work continues on the installation of a new gas line along South McCanse Street in Mt. Vernon. Utility company Spire is burying 7.1 miles of new pipeline, a project that is expected to last into August. The specific project starts just south of Mt. Vernon Boulevard and stops at County Road 2190 just north of Verona.
Jason Merrill, with Spire, said the replacement pipeline will reduce “leaks and methane emissions, ensuring the safety of our community contributing to substantial environmental improvement and advancing our carbon neutrality commitment.” (Photo by Ryan Squibb)
