Lorain Paving Plan Faces State Funding Rebuff
Lorain officials met in Columbus with State Highway Director Jobin Jaster Jr to seek state funds for a Broad Way paving project estimated at 350000. Jaster refused state aid, citing no funds for municipal paving, and suggested WPA assistance or county city talks with WPA. County and Lorain leaders consider a WPA project to cut costs, while Doyle Dunn criticizes perceived bias and notes other state road projects planned nearby.
