Lorain mayor’s plan collide with LTV in Black River dispute
The Black River port area in Lorain hosts an iron ore terminal for LTV Steel, employing about 6,000 and taxed at roughly $381,000 yearly. Mayor Koziura’s push to seize the 57 acre site for shops and a park clashes with LTV, which would seek land value plus lost business compensation if eminent domain were used. LTV invested $36 million in 1980 with bonds from the Lorain Port Authority, and the company maintains pollution controls and recently sold 22 riverside acres for a downtown park.
