Lorain County Bars Autocense Funds For Baumhart Rd Project
Lorain County cannot use autocense funds to retire general revenue bonds for the Baumhart Rd four lane project near the Ford plant. Attorneys say funding must come from general revenue, affecting the county budget. The board authorized Squre, Sanders and Dempsey to draft bond legislation for the road, a Quarry Creek sewage plant, and a Murray Ridge courthouse, with bond totals around 205000, 200000, and 34.5 million respectively. The county may issue up to 3 million in general obligation bonds based on current valuation.
