City of Cleveland
Ten years on from the launch of Sustainable Cleveland 2019, over 500 stakeholders assembled at Public Auditorium on Wed 10.16.19 to engage around 29 big ideas to move the City of Cleveland and the region forward to a more sustainable future.
CoolCleveland spoke with Shanelle Smith, the Ohio Director of the Trust for Public Lands, and Matthew Gray Chief of the Mayor's Office of Sustainability for the City of Cleveland about the progress that's been achieved and the smart thinking that's being applied to the challenges ahead. Plus, a big announcement about plans to plant new trees in the City.
Ten years ago, Mayor Frank G. Jackson announced a 10-year initiative to engage all citizens to work together to design and develop a thriving and resilient region. While this initiative culminates in 2019, 50 years after the infamous 1969 Cuyahoga River fire, the work continues.
