EVANSVILLE — A Casey’s General Store & Fuel Center is being proposed for the northeast corner of Pollack Avenue and Green River Road.

Both the vacant grocery store building and a vacant house on the site of nearly one acre will be razed to make room for the new construction.

Plans for the Casey’s are scheduled to be reviewed at 9:30 a.m. M
