Church, State And Sprawl

23 May 2003 - 6:00am

Churches in Cleveland's older suburbs are fighting sprawl.

"Officials from 15 suburbs that ring Cleveland hope to enlist religious leaders from their communities to fight the effects of urban sprawl, said Ken Montlack, vice mayor of Cleveland Heights and chairman of the First Suburbs Consortium. The groups moved toward a holy alliance in a meeting last week at the Catholic Center downtown."
