Census figures show Lorain County with nearly 30 percent of homes aged 40 or more years and Cuyahoga County above 45 percent. Cleveland demolished 21,622 houses in the 1980s, while many areas still lack complete plumbing and sewers. Suburbs show aging stocks with 50 plus year homes rising, and shifts in heating fuels and telephone access accompany continued growth in housing.
Elyria Police Captain Thomas Bowen urged about 100 attendees at the Afro-American Festival breakfast to consider police careers to diversify the force. He cited pay starting at 12 dollars per hour with a raise after year one and projected nationwide growth of minority officers by 2020. He noted fire departments and prisons also face minority hiring needs.
A broken sewer line near Court and Broad streets created a five foot deep hole beside Elyria Savings and Trust Bank. City crews will dig up Broad Street and nearby sidewalk Tuesday to repair the sewer and backfill the gap while assessing the full extent. Assistant City Engineer John Hart cited a cracked combined sewer and recent heavy rains as factors. Bank workers alerted officials after bricks fell away exposing soil beneath. Traffic on Broad Street may be blocked during the repair.
