High school's insurance covers wind damage

By Rose Krzton-Presson

Paducah, KY – Suspected wind damage won't set back the completion date of McCracken County's consolidated high school. The school system's insurance is covering an estimated 478,000 dollars of damage that collapsed part of the gym at the construction site. Damage likely occurred May 22nd when a severe storm system moved through the region. The Paducah Sun reports the school must cover labor costs for the repair. A&K construction staff plan to have the high school completed by April 2013. Officials have not yet determined the cause of the collapse.
