We’re now into June and the prospects for the Mt. Carmel City Pool opening this summer aren’t any clearer. At Monday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Joe Judge said guidance from the state remains murky…

If the pool isn’t able to open this summer, it might not be a worst case scenario as Judge said the city is applying for a $1 million fast track grant that would pave the way for a new splash park and more…

Judge said if the city finds out their application is successful in early July, the pool would have to close so the project could begin…since one of the criteria of the grant is the project being shovel ready. The fast track grant is in addition to another grant the city has applied for to upgrade the city pool.
