Costs loom for City View annexation in Lorain
The City View Sheffield Township parcels seeking annexation to Lorain would trigger massive expenses for water sewer police and fire services. A baseline $500000 is needed for water trunks plus storage and pumping upgrades. Fire protection would shift from Sheffield Township to Lorain, raises police staffing to FBI standards, and LMHA housing plans for City View stalled by federal requirements.

City View annexation decision nears for Lorain
Lorain faces a March 20 deadline to decide whether to annex City View, an 85 acre tract once called Campito. The plan would extend city services including water mains and sewers, absorbing expected financial burdens but ending the area’s isolation. City View borders 36th Street to the north and Olive Street to the south, with Broadway and Dallas Avenue as approximate boundaries.
