A federal courthouse in north Mississippi is reopening after extensive renovations to eliminate mold, increase energy efficiency and update technology. Court cases were starting to be heard Tuesday in the Thomas G. Abernethy Federal Building in Aberdeen. A reopening ceremony for the updated 51-year-old building will take place Oct. 8.

ABERDEEN, Miss.
Months after holding a meeting to explain problems to the public, court officials fled the building in February 2018. By that summer, an independent inspection confirmed that the mold infestation made the three-story building uninhabitable.7 people killed in Mississippi bus crash were all from Mexico, highway patrol says
“I later learned that there was a higher concentration of mold four feet behind my desk chair than anywhere in the building,” Aycock said. “But I now have new windows.” “When we came in here two years ago for a tour, there was nothing but ducts and bare walls,” said Magistrate David Sanders. “It was hard to determine where you were.”
