Weddell House Demolition Contract Under Fire
Elyria reports the city awarded a $28,599 demolition contract to B&B Wrecking and Excavating that allegedly complies with minority business rules. A separate Lorain County suit seeks an injunction to halt razing, claiming Eboni Construction owns restoration rights and that city minority procurement laws were violated. The building’s eastern wall and sidewalk beams are cited as safety hazards while ownership has shifted to Yee Wing Laundry Inc. and Joseph Ross remains linked as statutory agent.
