Cuyahoga County's woes figure prominently in a new report that calls for addressing the growing needs of older suburbs.
"In rankings of 64 U.S. metropolitan areas to be released today, Cuyahoga County suburbs finish near the top in percentage of elderly and near the bottom in how much the average home value has increased. Also, it has one of the highest percentages of old housing and lowest percentages of families headed by married couples."
"In an interview recorded by Brookings, Bedford Mayor Daniel Pocek talked of plans by cities in Cuyahoga County to establish a multimillion-dollar redevelopment fund. The fund would be refilled with shared taxes and focus at first on Cleveland and its inner-ring suburbs."
