Lakefront suit won't stop Lorain lakefront project
City Councilman Kenneth Shawver said a lawsuit aimed at delaying the lakefront hotel project would only slow things briefly and that development would proceed even if the current proposal is abandoned. Meetings between developers and city officials were set, with Landmark Hotel Corp. and Lorain attorney Leo Koury involved. The suit, filed by Frank Kosco, seeks to halt development proceedings pending resolution of issues including eminent domain.
