Its target is Caesars Entertainment's unfinished casino on the beach on U.S. Highway 90.
The city had authority until last September when a law expired to clean commercial buildings and multi-family housing complexes that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Harrah's Entertainment, now Caesars, planned an $800 million casino on the site with singer Jimmy Buffett. Work stopped when the recession hit, leaving the city with a skeleton of metal and concrete on U.S. 90.
City officials tell The Sun Herald (http://bit.ly/143iejt ) that Caesars repaired the fence around the framework and the structure does not violate current code.
But they say it is an eyesore and should come down.
