For our current economy and future economy we need a strong Port and vibrant river and lakefront
Our Port is Vital to 18,000 Area Jobs
- Shipping helps keep 18,000 jobs and $1 billion income in NE Ohio
- Financing programs helped local employers create thousands more jobs
- Helps local businesses compete globally
- Green initiatives are making our harbor cleaner and creating a public nature preserve
This Plan Improves Our Lakefront, River and Future
- Keep our docks and harbor moving cargo economically
- Improve Cuyahoga River quality to create and keep jobs
- Repair the riverbank and keep our river channel and steel mill open
- Improve river and lakeshore environment
- Connect downtown and lakefront activities with a pedestrian bridge
Make our county more attractive to businesses, new talent and families
It’s the Smallest Countywide Levy
Just a $1.65 a month (average property) and it brings home millions in state and federal funds. The first increase in 15 years is strongly endorsed by County Executive FitzGerald, Mayor Jackson, large and small businesses, and others who know our county support a good port and a vibrant waterfront.
