A Message from Euclid Mayor Bill Cervenik

As Mayor, it is my responsibility during the month of February to report on the state of the City. As I review the finances, various departments, and community services and projects, I am optimistic about the progress and growth we have made in many areas, especially during this time of economic recession.

Municipalities throughout Ohio have had a reduction in funding received from the State o fOhio and we expect to continue to receive less funding this year and in the future. Therefore it is more important than ever for my administration and I to be aggressive in working to attract new businesses to the community. I am happy to report that several new companies are locating to Euclid and that several of our current manufacturing companies are expanding their facilities. Not only does this mean new jobs and revenue coming into the city, but I am hopeful it is a positive indicator that the economy is getting stronger. 

One major accomplishment that I am very proud of is the Waterfront project. The ADA accessible walking trails throughout Sims Park and along the lakefront have been completed. The construction of the fishing pier will be finished this spring.
