Two weeks after a deadly blast inside a downtown Youngstown building that resulted in the death of a Chase Bank employee, residents at a nearby apartment complex are now being ordered to evacuate.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Youngstown Mayor Tito Brown announced that residents of the International Towers have three days to gather their belongings and evacuate the building.
Brown says the evacuation order comes amid a report from a structural engineer stating the building was unsafe with a recommendation that it should be evacuated.
So what is the next step? City leaders are expected to receive an evacuation plan from the owner of the building and its insurance company later in the day on Tuesday. "The onus is on them," Brown stated.
