FirstEnergy’s last-minute flip on sewer route approval costs Lorain County more than half a million dollars

ELYRIA, Ohio – Last month, Lorain County Commissioners approved more than $600,000 in additional funding for the State Route 82 sewer expansion project, increasing the total budget to over $2.8 million. Despite earlier agreements, FirstEnergy reversed its approval of the sewer line placement mid-construction, creating costly changes to the project’s scope.
