Grafton annexation suit merit hearing delayed
A merits hearing on the effort to block the annexation of 1 805 acres for a new medium security prison was postponed to give lawyers time to file briefs. The suit, filed in Lorain County Common Pleas Court by Eaton and Grafton townships, challenges the November annexation by county commissioners and argues procedures were flawed. The village seeks the land to secure better sewer rates, while township officials call it a tax driven land grab. The village moved to dismiss the suit last week.
