Reichlin urges city to buy church land for offices
Mayor Leonard P. Reichlin plans to urge Elyria City Council to purchase the former Church of the Open Door building on Lowell Street for about 15000. The move would ease crowded offices, provide a new entrance and parking at West Park, and allow relocating the municipal court clerk and utilities offices. If approved the church hall could host the municipal court with a drive in window for utility payments. The Lowell Street property may later become a recreation center once the Lorain County Courthouse becomes the city hall.
