Cuyahoga County • February 20, 2025
Good morning, Cuyahoga County. When it comes to political drama, East Cleveland is giving Netflix a run for its money. The city's suspended mayor has turned to GoFundMe to battle corruption charges, raising eyebrows and $3,655 from anonymous supporters – though that's still a far cry from his $50,000 goal.
But it's not all political intrigue in Northeast Ohio. A whopping $129 million in federal green energy funding just landed in our lap, breathing new life into local climate initiatives. It's like finding that holiday gift check you forgot about, except this one's helping power our region's sustainable future through Cuyahoga Green Energy. Sometimes the best presents come wrapped in environmental responsibility.

🏗️ Seven Hills finally eyes development of prime 50-acre Rockside Road parcel. The long-vacant land along the south side of Rockside Road may finally see construction after decades of false starts and abandoned projects. Due to topography challenges, only 35 of the total 50 acres are actually developable. The property has seen numerous development proposals over the years, but none have successfully materialized. Now, there appears to be fresh momentum to transform this valuable piece of real estate.
