Abandoned buildings plague North Ridgeville area
In North Ridgeville several abandoned structures with broken windows and debris present safety hazards and eyesores. City officials lack funds and manpower to raze them, and private owners are hard to locate. The Ohio Department of Transportation will demolish a few as bids open July 27, costing $1,000 to $5,000 per structure. A city band, Safety Town enrollments, a Democratic Club meeting, summer playground registration, senior citizens day, and recreation programs are also announced amid the ongoing neglect of the remaining buildings.

Ridgeville council blasts Columbia Gas over contract withdrawal
North Ridgeville officials attack Columbia Gas of Ohio for backing out of a May 27 contract to raise residential rates about 3.7 percent per 15 000 cubic feet. Council members Cornish and Carte accuse the company of bad faith as return on investment would have risen from 7.6 to 8.2 percent over three years, from a current 6.2 percent. They oppose negotiating with current reps Ford McIntyre and Del Smith.
