From My Desk to Your Inbox
Another year has quickly come to an end, and as we look ahead to 2023, we look forward to the progress and the remarkable things to come. We have had an exciting year in Mayfield Heights, and we have watched a profusion of development in the city, from the Mayland development to the Aquatic and Community Center project. Both of which changed the city’s footprint.
December is a busy month full of shopping and decorating in preparation for the holiday season. As a reminder, do not forget to keep your family’s safety a concern. Keep lights on when leaving your home, pick up packages on your doorstep promptly and be aware of your surroundings when shopping.
Get in the holiday spirit and spend an evening with Santa and his elves on Friday, December 9th, at the city park tennis courts. The events will certainly enhance your holiday spirit and bring a smile to your face. Please take a look at the details below.
I am proud of the progress we have made in 2022 in our city, and we move into 2023 with strength, enthusiasm, and anticipation of witnessing the completion of new projects. I look forward to the opportunities that lie before us in the New Year.
I wish you and yours a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season and a wonderful, prosperous New Year!

TEAM NEO - Northeast Ohio
https://northeastohioregion.com
The Strength and Resilience of the Northeast Ohio Region Economic Projections Through 2028 Despite the continuation of COVID, projections through 2028 suggest that the economy is growing. New investments in the State of Ohio, most notably the announcement that Intel will invest $20 billion and generate more than 20,000 jobs in the state, will provide transformative, generational opportunities to businesses in the Northeast Ohio Region.
The impact on our economy created by COVID shows that GDP projections for 2022 will surpass 2018 GDP. However, employment projections are not showing the same recovery as GDP, regionally or nationally. Given this slower recovery in employment, it is critical that Team NEO continues its in-depth analysis of the demographic headwinds that impede our ability to grow, as well as what demographic sectors are accessing education, training, and the in-demand jobs in our region. The Aligning Opportunities series, including Misaligned Opportunities and Lost Opportunities, combined with the Vibrant Economy Index (VEI), generate important insights into the talent supply/demand gap for in-demand jobs as well as how diverse and inclusive our labor pool is. Through the VEI, we have a more detailed, nuanced, and accurate measure of our regional economy and how we compare to 12 key markets across the United States. The VEI helps us understand what will enable our economy to grow – specifically talent, equity, innovation, and resilience – so that we can drive regional competitiveness and individual prosperity. In doing so, we will create economic vibrancy.

FIRE HYDRANT CLEARING
This is a friendly reminder that it is the responsibility of residents who have a fire hydrant on their property to maintain the area around the hydrant. The Ohio Fire Code requires a 3-foot clear space to be maintained around a fire hydrant. This space allows firefighters to work in all directions around the hydrant to hook hoses and operate the valve. Your cooperation in clearing the area around the fire hydrants is appreciated.
