Lorain to dodge $1.2M electric bill at shuttered St. Joseph Center
City officials say a $1.2 million electric bill and a $350,000 water bill tied to the former St. Joseph Community Center are not being pursued after the building ceased operations. Mayor Chase Ritenauer notes the debt arose while the center was under prior management and is not a city obligation unless a new user or ownership transfer triggers collection. Councilman Dennis Flores also highlights the unpaid water bill and discusses potential rehab and relocation ideas for the site.
