Masons face loss and relocation as city eyes university sites
Odessa Masons face displacement as city plans to acquire multiple properties for University Boulevard widening. Negotiations stall over offers seen as insufficient to replace the lodge, with officials citing eminent domain as a possible but unwanted option. Members seek full value to rebuild in a high visibility location, while membership wanes and the historic lodge contends with future viability.
