After repeated problems with people cutting locks and sneaking into the fire-damaged Pastoret Terrace and Paul Robeson Ballroom buildings, city officials are taking measures to keep unwanted trespassers off the property, which was formerly home to the Kozy Bar and Apartments.
On Wednesday, the Duluth Economic Development Authority retroactively approved $54,500 in emergency spending to board up the building, repair damaged fencing, remove graffiti and install better lighting, as well as security cameras.
