Lorain panel advances CRA for 55-and-older apartments
Lorain’s Finance and Claims Committee discussed Bouman Group’s Community Reinvestment Area tax abatement request for a new phase of The Village at Lighthouse Point on Jaeger Road. If approved, the project would receive 100 percent abatement for 10 years then 75 percent for five years, funding a 17-acre phase three after a lot split. The plan aims to spur development with long term tax relief while city and schools weigh reduced revenue against boosted resident income and overall investment of about 6.6 million dollars. The proposal moved to full Council for consideration after brief questions and a later meeting.
