The bi-annual forum saw candidates discuss ways to tackle Lorain’s housing and blighted homes, economic development, taxes and how to best manage the city’s financial resources.
In addition, residents had the opportunity to hear about two renewal issues on the ballot on May 8. Tiffany McClelland, economic development director for the Lorain Port Authority, explained a five-year one-mill renewal levy which supports operating expenses.
