Lorain Chamber eyes new building to boost cash flow
The Lorain County Chamber of Commerce plans a 30,000 square foot, three story complex south of Lorain County Community College. It would dedicate 5,000 square feet to itself and lease the rest to tenants to generate revenue for a roughly $3 million construction loan and future operations. The strategy aims to reduce reliance on government funding, which currently totals about $90,000 annually from Lorain County and Elyria, and fears a funding cut if local officials deem its work duplicative. The chamber emphasizes dues as the strongest cash flow source, targeting a self-sustaining model through tenant rents and improved dues collection.
