The Lorain County Regional Planning Commission celebrates ten years with an anniversary dinner at the Oberlin Inn attended by about 165 people. Richard McGinnis has led the agency since its creation in 1955, guiding growth and regional cooperation amid strong local support from public officials and a civic citizen back bone. The commission began with a modest budget and staff and has expanded to ten full time employees and a focused transportation and land use study.
