Economic Development Incentives for Homeowners & Business Owners/Developers

An Ohio Community Reinvestment Area Program

Many people may not know that there are numerous incentives for homeowners to purchase property in the city of Lorain.

One of these incentives is an economic development tool administered by local government that provides real property tax exemptions for property owners who renovate existing or construct new buildings within five designated Community Reinvestment Areas (CRA).

These designated areas are located throughout Lorain and are outlined above on the map.

If you are interested in receiving more information, please contact the City of Lorain's Building, Housing & Planning Department.

It serves as the responsible department for the processing of CRA applications within the zones located throughout the city.
