Emergency Repairs Underway For Red Clay Theatre

Emergency repairs began this week to stop flooding in the basement and stabilize the end wall at the Red Clay Theatre in Duluth

Duluth Economic Development Manager Chris McGahee reported at the Aug. 21 Downtown Development Authority meeting that Smyrna-based Benning Construction Co. had been hired to do the work. The DDA had authorized the repairs on a cost-plus basis at a called meeting Aug. 9 after learning the end wall was in danger of collapsing into the basement.

DDA Vice President Rob Ponder said that Benning was expected to provide a cost estimate for the repairs based on its findings within two weeks. Work began Monday, Aug. 20. The DDA is paying for the repairs.
