THANK YOU FOR READING SOUTH EUCLID OVERSIGHT.
DONT BE FOOLED BY THE THREAT OF SAFETY FORCE LAYOFFS WHILE THE ADMINISTRATION INCREASES IN SIZE AND SALARIES. PLEASE CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR INFORMATION ON THE LAND AQUISITION TAX SCHEME, ALSO KNOWN AS ISSUE 65 - SAFETY LEVY:
“They have to learn that if they don’t get in line, they’re going to get run over.” ... “Thank you and goodbye. Crawl back under the rock you came from.”
"This is all Jane Goodman's fault. She was our first line of defense and she turned traitor on us and the plants and animals who don't have a political voice.
This issue is so much bigger than South Euclid's budget or the economic viability of Severance Mall, and Jane Goodman took the wrong side."
The collection of documents and videos presented in this post sheds light on the truly symbiotic relationship between the South Euclid government, developers and the local media. The continuity of keeping The Coral Company in the picture was a nice ancillary benefit for South Euclid officials, particularly in a Mayoral election year. However, after peeling away the varied stories and layers of blatant misrepresentation, it seems possible the true advantage of this relationship is to keep the public in the dark about their $20 million plus involuntary encumbrance. Meanwhile, the city snuggles into a cozy partnership with Oakwood Country Club developer, Mitchell Schneider, of First Interstate Properties.It appears he utilized his resources as a rescue effort to help the City get something- anything built at CedarCenter. As always, the Sun Messenger continues to beat the drum for the City, taking dictation and reporting for the fifth year in a row that all is well and the Coral Company is ready to begin construction any day now.
Below are two excerpts (boxed in red) from the November 2011 Cedar Center Purchase Agreement for the sale of 7 acres of municipally owned property for $1,325,000.00.These are the only two places throughout the entire 17 page document where there is any mention of the Coral Company.In both instances, the reference is in the form of separation and not partnership with DeVille Development, the purchaser of the property as Cedar Center North, LLC.
Here is a link to the October 28, 2011 commercial real estate appraisal regarding the 7 acres of property sold to Cedar Center North, LLC.
In the video below, Law Director Michael Lograsso speaks as if he was instrumental in locating and negotiating the Bob Evans deal for CedarCenter. In reality, it seems the credit for securing the Bob Evans deal belongs to Goodman Real Estate Services Group, LLC., and the negotiator hired by South Euclid to broker the deal.

Regarding Cedar Center, Mayor Welo repeats the same worn out delusional stories; that many developers had “a lot of interest in it,” that the economy was to blame for nothing happening, and perhaps the biggest whopper of them all, “Tonight, Peter, you’re going to build CedarCenter.”
