Annex battle nears decision in Sheffield Township case
Judge Robert Vetter took under advisement the annexation effort to add about 2000 acres in Sheffield Township, including the O Neil Sheffield Shopping Center, to Lorain. The long case traces back to 1958 petitions, county approval, and a challenge by Las M Simo and others. If Vetter rules the amended petition legal, Lorain can proceed with city incorporation of the area.
