"Very interesting meeting last night at Flannery's. Folks from various departments of the City of Cleveland, some Connection Series BCP-CAT members, bloggers and assorted others gathered to have an interactive session with Zach Reed, council guy from the Kinsman/Mt. Pleasant area. Trouble was, it turned out to be something else. Mr. Reed has done some serious legwork with the help of former Mayor White and gotten some $50 million already allocated from government sources that he plans to use it to beautify the area and build a new library and school. Attendees for the most part seemed to want to know how they could help with the revitalizing the area, but Mr. Reed didn't seem much interested in help. He did ask us to send private investors his way. "

I'm glad to see that some of the NEO Blogging Community was there to take them to task. Barbara has a pic on this post. It's good to know that Tony Houston was there, along with J Beatrice and Steve Goldberg. I'm sure they were all outspoken about the way the meeting was handled. Hopefully, we won't waste more time on the project. If they don't want our help, let's find someone who does.
