New Elyria Police Station to Cost 75 Million
Elyria City Council approved a 40 000 square foot police station five times larger than the current West Broad Street facility with a 75 million funding plan from the police levy and capital improvements. Architects warned a jail could add up to 2 million and 18 000 square feet, while site work may require buying up to 15 private parcels. Some council members questioned park landscaping use of levy funds but supported the project. Ground breaking is hoped for later this year with design to proceed for a 50 year functional span.

The Elyria city council voted 10 to 1 to approve a 22.8 million 1996 budget and consider adding a third assistant Safety Service Director.

Councilman Herman Larkins notes concerns about optics but supports broader experience gains for Dickerson. Gerald Hammond and Rob Ward dissented.
