The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in collaboration with Brian Cummins, Ward 15 Councilman and Cleveland Metroparks Zoo will present a film, “Cleveland: Confronting Decline in an American City”.  The one-hour documentary film produced by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is the second in their “Making Sense of Place” series.  The film examines how policymakers, community groups and others have wrestled with urban decay, the erosion of inner suburbs and the growth of outer suburbs in what was once America’s fifth largest city – and what future solutions might be.  After the film, a panel and facilitator will help lead a discussion with viewers.  See www.makingsenseofplace.org for additional information and call or email the Ward 15 Council office for details at 216-459-8400, bcummins [at] clevelandcitycouncil [dot] org.
