Arts and Culture as an Economic Engine:
6th Cleveland City Council in the Neighborhood Tour to cover Ward 13 |
| |
| |
Cleveland City Council President Martin J. Sweeney is taking Council's regular Monday night Meeting on the road and into the neighborhoods once again this Spring as part of an effort to bring Council closer to the people of the City of Cleveland.
The 6th tour and neighborhood Council Meeting is part of the Cleveland City Council in the Neighborhoods Initiative and will focus on Ward 13. The regular Cleveland City Council meeting on May 14, 2007 will be held at Josaphat Arts Hall, 1433 E. 33rd Street, at 7 pm.
"It is important for all Members of City Council to have an understanding and knowledge of the diverse opportunities present in Cleveland's individual neighborhoods," said Council President Sweeney. "Being out in the community for some of our meetings gives us a chance to really connect with the people living in the neighborhoods we visit."
The neighborhood tour will cover the St. Clair Superior, Payne Sterling, Downtown, Tremont and Ohio City neighborhoods as well as part of the Stockyard neighborhood. The Ward 13 tour is focused on arts and culture and the economic and community development opportunities that arise as a result of a healthy arts and culture community.
Council launched the Cleveland City Council Neighborhoods Initiative in the Spring of 2006. The Ward tour before the Council Meeting helps Council acquire a better understanding and knowledge of all of Cleveland's diverse neighborhoods. The Ward tours allow Council Members to share the accomplishments, opportunities, and challenges of each individual Ward.
Council intends to tour all of the wards in the City in several clusters, culminating in a Council meeting in the neighborhood. |
