Painesville man says Conneaut shows lack of interest
By MARK TODD - Staff Writer - mtodd@starbeacon.com Star Beacon
The company is interested in using government block grant money available to the city to help finance its project. The money would be loaned to Saxcliffe and then repaid, Ratcliffe said.
“It would help us get up and running faster than if we get money privately,” he said.
Conneaut was one of six locations examined for the operation, Ratcliffe said. Access to a port was critical for shipment of product, he said.
Based on the city’s response, however, Conneaut is falling out of favor, Ratcliffe said.
“We’re very committed to Conneaut,” he said. “It has most everything needed to make a business a success. But instead of helping, the administration is dragging their feet, making misstatements and doing nothing but casting doubt on whether this project will happen in Conneaut.
“I’ve spent a lot of time in Conneaut,” Ratcliffe said. “I like the town. We’re looking for a place to revolutionize the building industry. Our first choice is to make a deal in Conneaut.”
