BEACHWOOD PAYS TRIBUTE TO DEPARTING COUNCILMEN
FRED GOODMAN, MARK WACHTER AND MARK MINTZ
More than years of municipal experience left City Hall at the conclusion of the last
City Council meeting in December.
Councilmen Fred Goodman, Mark Wachter and Mark Mintz attended their final meeting
that included numerous tributes and a brief reception.
"Tonight is very bittersweet for me," Mayor Merle Gorden said of the departing
councilmen. "I not only call them colleagues, but I also call them friends."
The Mayor noted a long list of accomplishments that occurred during the service
of the council trio, including development of the Harvard Road exit ramp on
I
that opened up the south end of Beachwood to development.
"These gentlemen kept giving of themselves and they did it for the residents
of the City of Beachwood," the Mayor said.
Goodman, Wachter and Mintz won steady accolades throughout the
evening for serving during a period when Beachwood continued its
reputation for providing superb municipal services while also
maintaining very stable finances.
We wish them all the best.
STRONG BUSINESS GROWTH
In
, more than . million was invested in Beachwood
capital projects. This level of activity is not new to Beachwood.
In fact, Beachwood has exceeded the
million investment
level in each of the past seven years (see chart below).
"We continue to attract and retain world class companies along
with superb medical, retail and hospitality groups," said Mayor
Merle S. Gorden. "These are top priorities in Beachwood and we
look forward to
and another outstanding year for our City."
The attraction of new companies and the jobs that they bring
with them are always a priority for the Beachwood Economic
Development team. Certainly, the arrival of Eaton, University
Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center, OMNOVA Solutions and
Stratos Wealth Partners are great examples of recent successful
attraction projects which brought over a thousand new jobs and
millions in new payroll to the City.
