Spectrum Inspire opens in former Elyria library site
Maggie Savoy toured Spectrum Inspire on Washington Avenue, the former Elyria Main Branch Library, now a charter school for autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities. Bruce Henson and Jon Veard Sr. purchased the building in 2021 and invested over $1.1 million to convert it, including dividing vast open spaces into classrooms and removing asbestos. The basement now serves as a combined gym and cafeteria for older students.
