One place to cool off this week is the Mt. Carmel City Pool and the city council may decide this evening to move forward with renovations to the aging facility. On Friday’s “Ask The Mayor” segment on WSJD, Joe Judge said the state has rejected the city’s attempt to acquire a grant to cover the majority of the costs of the renovations. According to Judge, the city’s application was in the top 50 of the proposed projects, but the state approved only 36 of the applications. Now, the city council will be asked this evening to approve a full renovation of the pool, including a splash park. Judge said the time is now for the council to quit kicking the can down the road and putting off long overdue upgrades to the city pool. The city council meeting starts at 5 at City Hall.
