He talked about several things. One thing he found was that businesses were struggling for capital for small businesses, small loans, micro- lending. He is trying to work on that. He is working on innovation centers, partnerships with the County library. Actually one of them is going to be at the Mayfield Library, a pilot program. They are going to have a 3D printer and high speed internet and a couple other things. Abandoned houses and demolition were discussed. They are trying to put more money into that to keep that moving. Not only the City of Cleveland, but the many suburbs that have applied for money too to get houses demolished. The County has stepped up with summer jobs for youth where the State stopped helping kids who were 14 and 15 years old. The County got some money together and pushed the State to rethink money spent for getting young kids suinmer jobs and got them to put another $2.5 million into the fund for that. Cuyahoga County alone will get almost a million dollars of that. We talked about regional collaboration. That is a buzz word
