The fight to save a 100-year-old Girl Scout cabin in Creston may be ending.
The city of Creston Parks and Recreation Board voted in December to destroy the old building at McKinley Park, but that plan was put on hold when the Creston Girl Scouts stepped in and said it would raise the $15,000 needed to repair the cabin. A committee was then formed to lead the effort.
According to KSIB Radio, Audrey Wright, Vice-President of the Save the Girl Scout Cabin Committee, told the Creston Parks and Recreation Board at its Tuesday meeting it has exhausted all its efforts in trying to save the building.
The structural engineer hired independently by the committee said it was no longer feasible to save the cabin.
The committee says it's now time to use the money raised to repair and restore the cabin to construct a new building on the site.
