Executive Ronayne wants to cultivate a diverse and resilient economic landscape in Cuyahoga County that benefits residents, businesses, and the overall prosperity of our community.  His initiatives include:

Animal Shelter Expansion

The Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter broke ground on a 2,300-square-foot expansion project in 2023. The expansion will provide the shelter with more space for training and recreational space for dogs.

Connected Cuyahoga

A Connected Cuyahoga is one that provides residents access to the region’s assets, regardless of how they get around. Connected Cuyahoga is a people-first approach to mobility that builds upon and strengthens our multimodal transportation network.

Cuyahoga LIVE!

Our region has a legendary music history, including home to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and live music continues to be a driving force in our culture and economy. Cuyahoga LIVE! is a new live music and entertainment task force dedicated to strengthening the county’s vibrant music scene, supporting local artists and venues, and making Northeast Ohio a premier destination for live performances.

Office of Small Business

The Cuyahoga County Office of Small Business is a place for entrepreneurs and small business owners to go for support. The new office within the Department of Development offers personalized assistance and guidance to small business owners, ensuring they receive the support needed to navigate the business landscape seamlessly.

Veterans Memorial Bridge

People are once again rediscovering one of the many hidden treasures in Cuyahoga County. Each summer, the County will open the bridge's underside so people can explore the 3,112-foot walkway and enjoy the unparalleled views of the industrial valley and Lake Erie. The Ronayne Administration is charting a plan for future permanent public access.
