Lorain Eyes Grant to Finish Veterans Memorial Park
Lorain council may apply for a $152,154 matching grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to finish renovation of Veterans Memorial Park. The park, half-complete, would need city funds to meet the match, with existing Block Grant funds and current year money designated for sidewalks. Local officials stress the project must be completed or substantially improved, with some civic groups urging broader funding beyond a name on the project. The park sits on Erie Avenue across from City Hall, formerly Washington Park.
