Lorain Carnegie Center enters second phase of renovation
Lorain Historical Society bids to fix the Carnegie Center with a $2 million plan. Barb Piscopo says the project aims to preserve history and spur city redevelopment, leveraging federal funds for surrounding neighborhoods. About $1.1 million in private money plus a $500,000 state grant support the effort, with $1 million more sought for an endowment to sustain operations. The 10,000 square foot site at 329 West 10th Street, formerly the Streator Building, is due for five to ten years of work.
