My name is Tom Benson, B -E -N -S -O -N, 4182 Dover Center Road, North Olmsted, Ohio, of course. I have two questions. One, I was reading last month's minutes about Dover Center. Just curious if there's plans to tear it out and work on it, or is it just going to be patched soon, and how that's going? And the other question I have is obviously about our businesses within our City. It seems we're struggling, you know. I'd like us to somehow work on getting more in, and I know that's easier said than done, but I was just curious, especially if the Mayor has anything to put in on that. So many empty buildings. It seems like we're dealing with that as quite a big issue right now. You know, we go to church in Westlake, and it seems crazy that we see so many office buildings being filled up in different places, and I was wondering if there's anything we could do to help our City grow that way. Those are the two questions. 03-04-25 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 6
