Elyria plans look at parking with new city hall
Elyria officials envision a public parking garage or lot near the northwest corner of Court and Second streets as part of a planned municipal office building. The parking project depends on city hall costs and private financing, with potential use by downtown visitors and tenants. The city hall would renovate the old building at 328 Broad St to an early 19th century style, with land west of the site eyed for parking and negotiations with Elyria Savings and Trust and HCT Corp.
