Higgins Electric wins stadium contract for Cleveland project
Higgins Electric Co. of Elyria is among three firms awarded bids for Cleveland's NFL stadium. Higgins will handle electrical work for about 1.4 million, far under estimate. Independence Excavating will do site and culvert work for nearly 10.5 million, with W. Franks Construction building a $215 million natural grass field. The 72,000-seat stadium aims to host a successor Browns team in 1999, with seven bid packages left and costs about 13 million over budget. Mayor White plans budget talks after the final electrical contract in July.

Parma suit dismissed over Parma hiring practices
A federal judge in Cleveland dismissed an NAACP lawsuit challenging Parma Ohio municipal hiring as discriminatory. Judge Kathleen M O Malley ruled Parma removed obstacles to recruit minority city employees by ending the residency requirement and she found the NAACP lacked standing. Parma law director William Mason said the city is pleased the lawsuit was rendered unnecessary. NAACP lawyer James Hardiman welcomed the removal of the residency rule.
