Editorial: Regional solution urged for Lorain County retail glut
A Northeast Ohio study finds Lorain County has 9.2 million square feet of retail space, 1.9 million over its needs, with 1.5 million more proposed and 9,334 acres zoned for retail.

It argues for reevaluating retail zoning and adopting a regional approach to growth.
