Mutual Aid Ambulance is moving out of the Latrobe Municipal Building after failing to reach a new lease agreement with the city government.
The Trib reports that the non-profit ambulance service had signed a 20-year-lease in the 1980s that ultimately expired in 2015. City manger Terry Carcella said Mutual Aid was paying $525 a month plus utilities, but the city had not collected the utility contribution for a number of years. The city tried to negotiate a new rent amount that at the last offer was $2200 a month plus utilities, but the two sides could not reach an agreement.
The ambulance company will now work out of Arnold Palmer Airport and a second site in Unity, but the move-out will not affect memberships or service to Latrobe.
