Elyria Lorain area eyes growth and hurdles in 1972
The Elyria Lorain standard metropolitan area expects 1,175 new residents in 1972 and a 1.8 percent regional growth, with Lorain County adding about 4,649 people by year end. Growth relies on federal funds, highways face austerity delays, and the Lorain County Park District seeks funds for Lake Carlisle and expansion toward 10,000 acres. Major 1972 highway projects hinge on state budget releases, while housing booms depend on affordable mortgage money. Elyria plans 40 million in northwest sewer work, a new water works expansion, a 4.5 million water system upgrade, a county admin building, jail planning, and a new city hall, as West River Parkway and Fuller Road renewals race for federal funding.
