Lorain County lakefront plan seeks funds for growth
Lorain County commissioners heard a final Lorain County Lakefront Connectivity Plan outlining lakefront living parks and a conference center hotel from Avon Lake to Vermilion. The $84,000 NOACA grant funds the plan with county and metro parks contributions, aiming to boost pedestrian connectivity and regional economic development through public private partnerships and future investment. Vermilion plans a west lakefront park near the old Ford plant turning a junk yard into a woods and wetlands viewing area with an elevator platform for train and lakefront vistas.
