Here are some highlights from the State of the City:
The city of North Ridgeville is asking for renewals of a 1.9-mill fire department levy, a 1.9-mill police department levy and a 1.95-mill levy for roads and bridges. The levies have been collected and renewed since 1976, 1975 and 1990, respectively.
“We would hope that people see the value in supporting those entities, and we’ll renew those levies in May,” says Mayor Corcoran.
