Town terminates CBOH lease

The Community Beacon of Hope Inc. is no longer operating in the Town of Whitehall.

According to Deputy Town of Whitehall Attorney Elizabeth Musick, CBOH was provided a notice of termination of their lease Monday.

Musick stated the ambulance service was unable to cure the breach of their lease agreement with the Town. CBOH was informed last week they had until August 8 at 5 p.m. to pay a $6,000 lump sum pursuant to Section 5 of their lease agreement. The payment was due August 1.

Musick said Tuesday morning CBOH has surrendered the equipment and building, and both are back in possession of the Town of Whitehall.

She added the Mayor and Town of Whitehall now have to get together to discuss what to do with the building.

After several weeks of discussion, the Whitehall Town Council voted 4 to 1 July 17 to approve the business lease.

Alderman Joe Adams was the dissenting vote. Mayor Dale Davis was absent from the meeting.
