The Emergency demolition of the Pumper on Washington Street in downtown Cannelton was stopped by a Gibson County Judge. We ae currently waiting on a new date on a court hearing on the properties. The Gainer building was take down before the court order was received. The City is being held up cleaning up the build rubble by the court order. The court date on May 19, 2023 was cancelled by the judge after a witness for the other party could not attend. Will update as soon as a new date has been set.
The Board of Public Works and the City Council voted to increase the Trash Fee to $25.00 per house hold to help cover the increased cost. The City council agree to not to to try and cover the whole cost but to jus to pass on a portion of the increased costs costs incurred by the city.
