Deal Reached For Masonic Lodge To Move To Girl Scout Cabin

A tentative agreement has been reached between the city of Mt. Carmel and the local Masonic lodge to move into the former Girl Scout cabin at the top of the hill on Walnut Street near 1st Street. Mason Yale Epler asked the council last month to consider the idea for the group to move from its’ Market Street location to the Girl Scout cabin. At this past week’s city council meeting, the city offered the Masons use of the cabin on a 10 year occupancy lease with no rent being charged. Instead, the Masons will take care of pay for renovating the inside of the building. The city will continue to take care of the outside of the building including mowing. The council is expected to formally approve the lease at their May 16th meeting.
