Elyria Public Library plans smaller energy efficient complex
The board drops a costly 50-year plan and aims for a smaller energy efficient building. The south Elyria branch will relocate from Hamilton school due to demolition, and LaGrange seeks a local expansion. A new south Elyria branch is proposed for neighborhood access with Marcus Madison backing it. The LaGrange project keeps its current site after land purchase. Estimated revenue from a 0.90 mill levy would be 952 249. Contact Lisa Roberson.
