I invite all members of Council and the Community to join us as the shovels go in the ground for this exciting new housing development. • Last week, Director of Economic and Community Development Max Upton, State Representative Bride Rose Sweeney, Councilman Chris Glassburn, and myself, along with other invited guests, met with Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik at Old Town Hall for a roundtable discussion about economic development in North Olmsted. Great Northern Mall was an important topic on the meeting agenda, especially in light of the news that the Macy's department store at the mall is now up for sale. • Don't forget to register your home for the North Olmsted Arts Commission popular Halloween Home Decorating Contest.
