Sheffield trustees oppose annexation of shopping center to Lorain
Sheffield Township trustees issued a two part protest over annexing 367 acres in Sheffield and 25.5 acres in Elyria to Lorain. They argue petition agent Curtis Nelson, a Lorain resident since March, cannot represent petitioners and warn the center’s tax income would suffer if tied to Lorain. Trustees Balogh Chonko and Monos cite forged petition names as previously raised by the Sheffield Civic Center. Lorain County Commissioners have not acted pending clerk certifications from involved townships.

County planners skip airport study in 1969 program
Lorain County Regional Planning Commission will not include a major airport study in its 1969 work program. Assistant members questioned feasibility and impact, but a private consultant estimated an 18500 dollar cost, deemed too speculative to justify funding at this time. The airport authority originated the major port proposal. Oberlin opposes due to noise and other concerns.
