Johnstown City Council voted unanimously to seek bids for the demolition of the Duross building at 7 N. Melcher St. City Engineer Chris Vose stated the building was cordoned off due to structural concerns, noting that parts of it had already collapsed on several floors. The $908,000 state grant covers two properties: the Duross building and a former Central Market grocery that closed in 1994.
