🏗️ Spring renaissance

Dev Test County • March 14, 2025

​

Good morning, Dev Test County. The calendar may say spring, but our community's energy feels distinctly summer-like as transformative projects heat up across the region. From long-dormant industrial spaces awakening with affordable housing plans to former amusement parks finding new purpose as public greenspaces, our landscape is evolving in ways that honor both our heritage and our future needs.

While Cleveland's planning commission gives new life to a 40-year vacant building, local educators are creating their own kind of magic through music programs that showcase remarkable student talent and diversity. Add to this the strategic alliance between women-led businesses strengthening our entrepreneurial ecosystem, and it's clear that Dev Test County continues to thrive through thoughtful collaboration and vision. Even as we navigate challenges—from car crashes into local businesses to retail security issues—our community's resilience remains our greatest asset.
