Peace touts jobs gains as city eyes belt tightening
North Ridgeville Mayor Floyd Peace in his fifth State of the City says job relocation from Elyria to Taylor Woods Industrial Park doubled local employment since 1983, bringing total jobs to about 1,800 with Majestic Moldings and G. Lissy and Associates. He warns of a tough year ahead, cites a poor state audit, and pledges no major cuts but lingering belt tightening as contracts expire.
