Fire probe targets cans and spat in Elyria triplex blaze
Fire officials investigate a Tuesday blaze that destroyed a West River Road North triplex leaving three families homeless. Partially melted gasoline containers were found near the scene. Rochelle Burns, the tenant of 517, escaped with her child after a passerby alerted her. Burns had argued with a neighbor earlier that day and heard him say he was glad the house burned. The fire chief said the cause remains under investigation with damages estimated at 57 700 dollars.

Lorain explores 225000 loan write off for St Joe Center plan
Lorain and Lorain County consider each investing 450000 into St Joe’s with a 225000 loan forgiveness from the state. The plan, discussed in Columbus with the Ohio Department of Development, would keep the center open and cut county costs, while a critic questions the lack of a business plan and opposes using taxpayer money. The proposal also includes tax breaks, a 300000 sale concession, and a 250000 facade boost for the facility near Broadway and West 21st Street.
