Old Post Office bids too low for county sale plan
Lorain County opened two bids far below the 125000 paid to the federal government in 1981 for the Broad Street Post Office. Attorneys Janik and Yingling bid 61000 to convert to offices, tiny business and a microfilm lab, while John and Loretta Dixon offered 70200 proposing a party center. The county may reject the bids and seek new offers as Reichlin notes selling is impractical for records storage yet the building remains a downtown asset. The county has spent 25000 to 30000 on repairs with replacement value 376000 in 1981.
