By now, most people realize that Nashville beat out Cleveland and Pittsburgh for the Amazon HQ2.
Why and how will be analyzed in depth. Digital inclusion needs to be part of that discussion. Unfortunately, in typical CLE-CUY fashion-- the focus and distribution of funds needed to change the equation is being directed through the Cleveland Foundation and through a dysfuctional community development service model at the municipal and county level--ALL dependent on FEDERAL MONIES.

How can the Cleveland Metroparks affect the inevitable shift to the digital infrastructure and smart grid network needed by EV vehicles? First, by changing the name of the countywide agency to the Cuyahoga County Metroparks. This is not an urban park district. It serves all communities in Cuyahoga County.
Second, Bernie Moreno needs to focus his Blockland energies to developing the EV charging network in the Cuyahoga County Metroparks. We all desperately need to prevent the typical Fund for our Economic Future and Vibrant NEO bullsh#t. in the move to blockchain efficiencies. Ditch the Unify Project affiliation.
We can not afford charlatans, anymore.
