A new religious non-profit organization in Mt. Carmel was the lone bidder to purchase the former City Hall building located at 219 Market Street. At Monday’s City Council meeting, City Clerk Rudy Witsman announced the bid was from Offense Ministries of Mt. Carmel. Representative Mike Neikirk was on hand and told the council Offense Ministries is headed by he and his wife Amy along with Brandon and Jill Kight and that he was not prepared to elaborate on any plans they have for the former City Hall….
The group’s bid was for $23,900 contingent on an agreement being reached on the use of parking around the building. The council authorized Mayor Joe Judge and City Clerk Rudy Witsman to work on finalizing the agreement. The building has been vacant since a major water leak hit in July of 2019 forcing city government to relocate.
