Council fights for four million storm sewer project
Lorain officials push a $4 million storm sewer plan, with a limited turnout and weak civic group representation. The Sept. 30 session will seek Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber endorsements as council members urge citizen support for a 25 year tax impact of 93 cents per $1000 of property value. Detailed project areas and costs across East and West sides, Martin's Run, and nearby streets are listed for proposed sewer improvements.
