Our response to Dec. 8 Plain Dealer editorial
December 08, 2010
Posted by: Joe Roman
The editorial in The Plain Dealer’s Dec. 8 editorial,“No backroom casino deals,” misconstrues the meetings held at our offices on Nov. 12 and 16 regarding Rock Ventures’ request to alter the Cuyahoga River to increase parking for the new Cleveland casino.

GCP goes public with support for CMSD Academic Transformation Plan
June 03, 2010
Posted by: Joe Roman
As you may have seen in The Plain Dealer, the Greater Cleveland Partnership Board of Directors voted to approve an open letter to the community showing public support for the proposed Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) Academic Transformation Plan. The letter, which is running as a full-page ad in today’s paper on Page A3, calls for the business community and the community-at-large to work towards the success of the proposal by CMSD CEO Dr. Eugene Sanders.

We need a new approach to create a new county government
November 13, 2009
Posted by: Joe Roman
All of us in Cuyahoga County need to take a deep, communal breath before we go hurtling recklessly toward the establishment of our new county government.

We have a precious opportunity before us, a first-ever chance to efficiently re-mold and improve our county government. Voters earlier this month overwhelmingly passed Issue 6, which the Greater Cleveland Partnership strongly supported. Issue 6 will result in a single county executive and numerous other improvements that will create a structure that can be much more conducive to economic development and job creation.

Election paves way for brighter tomorrow for NEO
November 04, 2009
Posted by: Joe Roman
Woke up with a smile this morning, and that is always the greatest way to start a day.

I’m so very pleased that Ohio voters – and Cuyahoga County voters in particular – passed three ballot issues that finally put us on the verge of making real economic improvements for our region:

  • Issue 3, which legalizes gaming in Ohio and will result in a casino being built in downtown Cleveland;


  • Issue 6, which replaces our wheezing, outdated county government with a new, more streamlined and effective system that places a specific emphasis upon economic development and job creation; and


  • Issue 4, the Tri-C levy, which will allow this local gem to continue to provide high-quality, affordable education for the jobs of today and tomorrow.


    • On the face of it, these three issues seem so different and unrelated, but the fact is they converge for a common path to making northeast Ohio stronger.
