Attorney warns CRA residents against refunds over abatements
Elyria attorney for more than 110 CRA residents says Lorain City misled property owners about refunds tied to abatements in the downtown and west side CRAs. He claims letters were improperly sent and urges clients to refuse signings pending a state high court case. Refunds average 400 to 500 dollars, linked to abatement application fees based on square footage. County Auditor Mark Stewart challenged the 2006 retroactive abatements, triggering years of litigation.
