Amherst to seek extended bond for new elementary school
Amherst voters may see a ballot measure to extend a 15 year old bond in 2016 to fund a $30 million pre K to grade 3 school. The plan hinges on a 50 50 state local financing split and approval from the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission. The district aims to refinance the existing 3.8 mill bond at no extra cost to homeowners.

Valor Home marks first anniversary after long push for veterans
On the eve of Valor Home's first anniversary in Lorain the four year battle to open the 30 bed transitional home for homeless veterans was recalled. Matthew Slater of Family and Community Services Inc. lauded community support with about 100 attendees at the grand opening. Valor Home at 221 West 21st Street opened in December after delays and a move from the St Joseph Community Center. The project weathered a flood and $52 000 in damage but secured grants and private donations totaling roughly $774 000. Valor Home houses 22 veterans and offers counseling employment and housing help with partners at the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
