Elyria debates jail tax and new police station timing
Elyria City Council's Strategic Planning Committee delayed a decision on a county jail expansion tied to a May 2 ballot. Lorain County proposes a 0.25 percent sales tax to add 214 inmate spaces on Murray Ridge Road, aiming to relieve county and city facilities. Mayor Keys noted Elyria may defer the police station project, seek an architect, and consider sites on Lake Avenue and Broad Street while awaiting county action.
