Consortium creates regional website

YOUNGSTOWN — A Northeast Ohio consortium has created a website that, its officials say, is designed to help the area’s residents and elected officials better understand the region’s challenges and research solutions for its future.

The Northeast Ohio Sustainable Communities Consortium unveiled the site — cat.neoscc.org — at its board meeting today at the Covelli Centre.

“Our objective in creating an online living document rather than a static, printed report is based on the fact that we all have a lot to learn from each other about what is going on in the region, especially what is going well and what is challenging,” said Jeff Anderle, the organization’s manager of communication and engagement.

The website includes information about land use, economic development, the environment, housing and transportation in 12 counties: Mahoning, Trumbull, Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit and Wayne.
