The city of Mt. Carmel has submitted an application looking to secure almost $1.5 million through the state’s rebuild downtown and main street capital grant program. Mayor Joe Judge has said that rebuilding the city’s crumbling sidewalks is a main priority and this grant would be a big first step…
The grant is being administered through the state’s department of commerce and economic development. Judge also recently said that there’s still been no word from the state on the status of a city application for funding that would help to renovate and improve the city pool. Last year, the city had to close the pool early because of a major equipment malfunction. No updates have been offered on the timetable for those extensive repairs and if the pool will be able to open on time this summer.
